Every time there’s a scandal regarding indecent pictures of celebrities the explanation offered is almost always the same… “That wasn’t me. That was my morphed picture.” However, model-turned- actor Himanshu Malik brazenly admits to the pictures available on the net of him in the buff as being the real stuff. Malik, who was introduced by Anubhav Sinha in the love triangle Tum Bin some years ago and who has thereafter done films like J.P. Dutta’s LOC, Mahesh Manjrekar’s Rakht and Govind Menon’s Khwahish frankly confesses to being nude on the net.
When some months ago his nude pictures were splashed on several mainstream and porn websites Himanshu was surprised. But ask him he was scandalized or angry? “Not at all! I checked out the pictures after I was told about them. They’re mine all right. And I don’t deny them at all. I had shot them with a well-known photographer when I was 21,” says the actor. We shot some very aesthetic pictures in his studio. Of course I stripped to my birthday suit. I’m not the least conscious of my body. I’ve a good physique and I don’t mind flaunting it.
