Just a few days back, television actress Abigail Pande had posted a topless picture while doing yoga. Now, her BFF Aashka Goradia has gone topless and setting some fitness goals for her fans.
Just like Abigail, the Naagin actress is also a yoga enthusiast. She met the Nude Yoga Girl, who is an internet sensation and inspires everyone with her posts. She took to her Instagram handle and Aashka then reposted the picture.
The image was captioned as, “I’ve talked with the amazing @aashkagoradia about the sexualisation & objectification of women in India. I wanted to share her thoughts with you. A new paradigm is shifting in our collective psyche. Stale mentalities are starting to whither and rightfully die. Necessary for an evolving society.”

“Exhaustingly and hypocritically, we as a society look down at broad displays of the female form as it appears in the moment. On screen, completely accepted (pending the budget of such displays crosses a certain 7-figure total). And the male form, no issue there – the more muscles, the better. But the female form…this angle of the topic is still being strangled to death by the perspectives of generations before us. The old diatribe of “Pura pheno, log kya kehenge?!” [Cover up. What will people say?] is still muttered in every household. We have the Sari – of the most enchanting styles of garment in the world. The midriff blouse, highlighting the soft curves of a woman’s figure, is revered. It’s traditional! Conservative, you can say! But a bikini – oh no…baring a woman’s legs AND her stomach…”oh no,…too much.” And don’t even think of insinuating toplessness!”
