‘Tripti Dimri’ and her ‘nude’ scene with Ranbir Kapoor in ‘Animal’ became the talk on all social media platforms. Some criticized her, some simply applauded. The reaction that this nude scene garnered is quite obvious because topics like sex and nudity are still taboo among Indian audiences.

Even though the very nature of the Indian film industry and its audience is conservative, this is not the first time a Bollywood actress has been featured ‘nude’ in a movie scene. Before ‘Tripti Dimri’, many brave Bollywood divas featured ‘nude’ according to the need of the movie script. They walked so ‘Tripti Dimri’ could run.

We have collected a list of these beautiful actresses who were bold enough to show their bare skin on the screen.

Zeenat Aman

Zeenat Aman in ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ confidently draped a sheer white saree in the movie that left nothing to the imagination. The movie was a hit and flew fairly well at the box office. Her ‘nude’ scenes were rather romantic than vulgar.

Mandakini

Mandakini and her association with the underworld, especially Dawood Ibrahim, became an optic of speculation and controversy in Bollywood. However, the movie that took her to rise was ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’. Like Zeenat Aman, Mandakini also featured in a ‘nude’ scene in that movie. From a song with a thin white wet saree to a full display of bosom in the name of a nursing baby, the vision of the makers of the movie was more artistic than scandalous.

Simi Grewal

Simi Grewal, with her role as ‘Kamala’ in Conrad Rooks’s Indo-American film, gave a ‘nude’ scene with Shashi Kapoor. During this era, the Indian Censor Board did not allow kissing scenes. But Simi broke all the barriers, paving the way for future Bollywood actresses. Her nude scenes were aesthetic rather than tawdry.

Nandana Sen

Nandana Sen and Randeep Hooda are featured in the movie’ Rang Rasiya’. At the age of 47, she played the sensual role of Sugandha in the movie. The sincerity and grace she showed in the movie are commendable. Even her nude scene was the farthest thing from obscenity. It was pure beauty.
