BHOPAL:  Social and Climate Change activist, model and actress Shamita Shristi Sharma (who originally hails from Bhopal) had shot for an awareness campaign for an international Climate Change NGO last week, but before the final campaign poster could be out, raw images from the shoot have made their way on social media.

The “shock and awe” artistic concept poster campaign, where Shamita Shristi-Sharma’s upper body is covered with dried leaves and twigs was shot for an NGO, Global Climate Change Cause.

While the photographer claimed his camera data card bearing the images, which was in a pouch, along with other items was stolen in transit, the NGO has decided to change the concept and reshoot the images. Meanwhile, the leaked raw images are floating on some social media platforms including Facebook.
