Nandana Sen: Being bold is complicated

Nandana Sen shot bold scenes for Rang Rasiya unabashedly, but she feels boldness is treated with double standards in the industry.

"I do think boldness is a complicated issue, and needs careful consideration and treatment. Female bodies are often ruthlessly and ingloriously treated as objects in showbiz, and I'd never agree to that. It would take away my humanity by turning me into a commodity," Sen said.

She says it is high time women are treated with respect. "My body is as much a part of my humanity as my brain, my morals, and my heart, and I will never be ashamed of expressing it, as long as it is with dignity and self-respect," she added.

Shooting intimate scenes with Randeep Hooda for Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya didn't come as an easy decision for Sen.

"I could take that decision only after discussing it at length with my family, who were very supportive," she said.

Sen says she is delighted Rang Rasiya will finally release this year.
