Shweta speaks in Radhika's defence

4th May 2015

Shweta Prasad, who was in news for a sex scandal in the recent past, has supported Radhika Apte for her much in news nude video clip meant for an international project.

Agitated with the amount of inappropriate reaction to it, Shweta said, "I was there when it was shot. I assisted Anurag on this film and I'm very proud of it. I cannot talk about the content of the short film. That is for director Anurag Kashyap to say. But I loved the script. It was a beautiful story and meant only for the international market."

"The nude shot was done so carefully. It was asexual innocent and beautiful. It is completely stripped of a sexual context. Vikramditya Motwane's mom saw the film. She cried."

"Anurag made sure there was no one except two women, one of them being me, on the sets. Anurag has a daughter and he is deeply sensitive to issues regarding the violation of a woman's private space. I salute him for shooting the sequence so sensitively. And as a fellow-actor and as a part of a team I salute Radhika Apte for doing what she did. I am a woman and an actor. And I know how deeply affected we were by the scene. To tear it out of context and use it for titillation…what a shame!"
