Mandira’s topless photo shoot spoils her image
Popular television personality and actress Mandira Bedi must have been paid a hefty amount for posing topless for Vogue magazine but it could do more harm than good to her profession. In fact, it could change the image that she has earned with her energetic and path-breaking of sort cricket commentary.
Mandira surely doesn’t need the kind of publicity that she has got from her topless photo shoot because she is already a household name. Not long ago, people even glued to the small screens long after a cricket match is over just to have a glimpse of her. Besides television assignments, her clean and vibrant image earned her some endorsements.
But unfortunately, her topless photo shoot for the Vogue magazine could change her image and the public perception. It could even cost television assignments and certain endorsements that demand certain image.
Posing topless is not a big deal in the West but it’s not the same in India. Most Indians are still conservative at heart, so topless photo becomes too much to take for many. Moreover, her protective fans wouldn’t like to see her this way. Considering these facts, Mandira could have avoided exposing so much, at least for her fans if not for herself.

Priyanka goes from I-T department’s ambassador to suspect
: Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra whose premises were searched by the Income Tax department had only last year starred in a short promotional film aimed to spread the message of tax compliance.
Chopra along with Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar had featured in a 20-minute-long documentary by the I-T department which was unveiled by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on July 24 in New Delhi to mark the first ever ‘Income Tax Day’.
The actors in the film had appealed to the public to pay their taxes diligently and honestly.
In an interesting twist of fate, I-T sleuths swooped upon Chopra’s apartment in suburban Versova while the residence of her father, Ashok Chopra, in suburban Lokhandwala, was also raided besides the premises of the actor’s secretary Chand Mishra.
The searches were conducted yesterday morning as the department suspected tax evasion on brand endorsements, offshore assignments and private appearances by the actor who has starred in films like Dostana, Anjaana Ajaani, Kaminey.
I-T officers are now checking her income received from advertisements, foreign assignments and guest appearances.
“The I-T department had approached the actors including Chopra for the documentary as they are considered youth icons and Aamir (Khan) and Akshay (Kumar) were amongst the top tax payers in the film industry,” a senior I-T officer said.
But, when it comes to professional duties, the department will conduct inquiries against anyone and everyone, the officer added.
Another actor Katrina Kaif was also covered in yesterday’s searches.
