New Delhi: TV actor Shravan Reddy was last seen in Colors TV show ‘Krishandasi’ as Aryan. He was in news last month, not for his serial but for his nude photoshoot for an upcoming short film.
Now, another actor has bared it all for his TV show. Newbie Akshay Mhatre, who is seen in Rajshri Production’s show ‘Piya Albela’ had to do a nude scene in the show. Yes! That’s true!
Akshay plays the role of Naren and when he came to know about the scene, he thought its joke being a Sooraj Barjatya show. But later on he realized that Sooraj was serious and he has to go nude.
While talking to leading portal, Akshay said “In my entire life I have never removed my T-shirt also in front of so many people. I am shy by nature and won’t even remove my shirt to impress a girl, so this came as a shock.”
He further added, “”I took it as a joke when Sooraj sir told me that I will have to go nude for a sequence. After all, they have never even shown a kiss between the lead pair in any of their shows or films. But when I realised that he was serious, I became quite nervous. The scene is crucial to the story line, so I decided to go ahead. Though I went nude only for a couple of shots, it was an extremely embarrassing experience. Nobody was allowed on the set apart from the DOP. He also says, I tried to ‘cover up’ by trying stockings and skin-coloured shorts, but in vain. We tried everything, but it looked fake. We had to show that my character, who is spiritually inclined, doesn’t care about his body anymore. I don’t know how much of it will be shown, but we have done our best to make it look aesthetic”
