Ishika Borah goes fully nude for her film on Pakistani and Afghani women sold as Sex Slaves in Arab nations

NEW DELHI: Mumbai-based model and actress Ishika Borah has posed fully nude for a short film by director Maneesh F Singh which will be screened at film festivals across the world.

The 60 minute festival film which is based on true incidents about sex slavery in Pakistan and Afghanistan, was actually shot in Afghanistan over a period of about one week.

According to Ishika Borah, the script of the film and the story required several sex scenes and other bold acts.

“As per the requirements of the project, I have done several bold scenes and nude scenes as well as love making and rape scenes in the project. It is based on a true story about sex slavery in Afghanistan and border areas of Pakistan. I play the role of a woman married at the age of 14 to a Afghani man who spends about a month with me and when I get pregnant forces me to have an abortion and then sells me to an Arab Sheikh as a sex slave. The Arab makes me service all the men who work for him and I am forced to have sex with nearly 10 different men each day to meet their sexual needs. This continues for about 3-5 months and after that, after my health fails, I am sold again. This continues for 3-4 years and at least 6-9 Arabs buy and sell me in the sex markets on the Afghanistan borders. After nearly 4 years of servicing more than 10 men everyday, I fall very ill and suffering from various skin diseases, when my owner leaves me to die on the road. I am rescued by an international NGO working in Afghanistan and admitted to a local hospital. This is the story of the film,” Ishika explained.
