Their movies are so bad that I can't even put a photo video.

Earlier, speaking to ETimes about her nude scene in Parched, the actress had expressed that although the experience was intimidating, she felt it allowed her to explore her body and sexuality.

She said, "Having to be nude on screen was a little intimidating. Now, I can bare it all anywhere. I’m proud of my body shape and size. Of course, that film went to so many places and that led to more work and appreciation."

She expressed that she needed a role where she could explore her sexuality and body image such as her role in 'Parched'. Whereas in, Bollywood, she claimed, stars are constantly told what to do with their bodies.

The film 'Parched' was directed by Leena Yadav, and starred Adil Hussain, Radhika Apte, Surveen Chawla and Tannishtha Chatterjee. It was produced by Ajay Devgn
