Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani exiled over nude photoshoot

London: An Iranian actress has been banned from returning to her homeland after appearing naked in a photoshoot for a French magazine.

Golshifteh Farahani, co-star of the 2008 spy drama ‘Body of Lies’ with Leonardo DiCaprio, had moved from native Iran to Paris a year ago.

She appeared in the news magazine ‘Madame Le Figaro’ in protest against the ultra-conservative cultural policies, which she claims are restricting Iran’s film industry.

“I was told by a Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guide official that Iran does not need any actors or artists and ‘you may offer your artistic services somewhere else’,” the Independent quoted her as saying.

Meanwhile, she got praise from some fans for her courage in tackling a taboo subject among Muslim women.

"Meanwhile, she got praise from some fans for her courage in tackling a taboo subject among Muslim women."!!! I'm sorry to say the this phrase I think is not correct , you talk about a taboo in the Muslim world ? you mean it's normal to show up in the nude in the non-Muslim world ?? Sir , any "normal" woman will not *easily* show up her breasts just to protest , in any part of the world .. unless it's a common thing in culture, e.g. some primitive African tribes or so . - A muslim woman - Egypt

She is an Iranian < Jane Fonda!> + her business is to act, no big deal - moody - U. S.
