Veteran actor Anant Nag, famously known for his stint as the author in Yash's KGF Chapter 1 has reacted to Deepika Padukone-Shah Rukh Khan's song Besharam Rang. The song from the movie Pathaan has been in the news ever since it was released by the makers. Deepika's saffron bikini and her sexy look have grabbed controversies and miffed a certain section of people.
Recently, Anant was asked to comment on the controversies surrounding around Besharam Rang by Asianet. Sharing his thoughts about the song, Nag said, "Showing women in such a way is not part of our Indian culture. If the censor team had done their job, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place. Forget about movies, look at OTT content, they show all sorts of nasty and offensive stuff. Everything is openly shown and no one is there to stop them."
Anant agreed that the song has 'partial nudity' and shouldn't be encouraged. Speaking more about it, Anant added, "Indian cinema should stop such nudity content on big and small screens. Showing things against our culture and tradition will definitely cause conflicts among the people." Besharam Rang was the first song released by the makers after Pathaan's teaser. As soon as the song came out, it got mixed-to-negative reactions from netizens.
