Pooja Bhatt: Not Naked on Infamous Magazine Cover

Pooja Bhatt has shed light on her famous 1990s body-paint magazine cover, asserting it was never meant to be controversial. She explained that the concept was inspired by a Demi Moore Vanity Fair cover, and she agreed to a similar artistic expression.

Pooja Bhatt clarified that she was not nude during the photoshoot, stating she wore underwear to maintain boundaries. The shoot occurred late one evening after a day of filming, with body painting done by Anna Singh and photography by Jagdish Mali.

Initially met with mixed reactions, the conversation around the image shifted following a major city tragedy. Decades later, Bhatt expressed surprise at the cover's continued discussion, suggesting that in a world of falsehoods, truth itself has become controversial.
