I don't see anything empowering about posing nude for a guy's masturbation magazine.
What's next? National Self-Help and Most Improved awards for women who find jobs at Elegant Angel Entertainment, doing porn scenes with 3 men and handcuffs?

While most people probably picture the classic Playboy Bunny as a buxom blonde beauty, Sherlyn Chopra is about to shatter that image. The Bollywood actress will grace the cover of the November issue of the girlie magazine and pose nude for an inside spread. But many people in her native India are outraged by her revealing debut.
In a report for the Daily Mail, commentator Gayatri Sankar spoke to why he feels Chopra’s decision is inappropriate given the current state of women’s affairs in India. He remarked, “At a time when innocent women across the nation from Gujarat to Guwahati have been subjected to sexual abuse and humiliation, one wonders if Sherlyn Chopra’s pictures wound a woman’s integrity.” But an argument could be made that her choice is empowering. After all, the 28-year-old, who’s had only minor roles in Bollywood films, landed the Playboy shoot all on her own. She wrote a letter to the magazine’s staff and proposed the idea herself.

Of course, people in India won’t be able to swing by their local newsstand and pick up a copy. The mag is banned there, but it is available online. One person who isn’t up in arms about Chopra’s decision is her mother — but that’s just because the actress hasn’t let her mom know about the Playboy issue yet. According to a BBC Hindi interview, Chopra plans to visit and break the news face-to-face. What do you think: Is Chorpha’s decision lacking integrity?
No wonder she didn't tell her Mother !! As a Mother/Grandmother.I would kill them verbally & tell them that she/they and humiliating and showed NO class if they did that. I would say how upset & disappointed I am.
Of course, I'm certain the pay will be obscenely high. Her future husband will be embarrassed as well if is wants to wed.
At over twice Sherlyn's age, I will not likely see her "exposure", but know she will be more appealing at 28 than 82. Such displays have earned many, roles in movies, like Marilyn Monroe who made many memorable, well acted appearances without shedding any other article of clothing. Some will never forget or forgive, but if movies Bollywood, Hollywood, or Roger Corman like movies is her choice, she should go for it. It is her own convictions that matter!
The 'computer gurus seem to be both male & female.
But I'm in favor of the shoot.
Now, while I was joking on the ugly bitches part (not necessarily have to be ugly), just let the girl do whatever she wants. I don't hear any complaining when some man models for Calvin Klein. Oh, the hypocrisy.
Anyway, those attacking her for something she chooses to do, are only diminishing her rights. It's like those feminists pushing women to work because "staying at home is degrading". It's her choice, respect it. It's her own life not yours.
