More than 300 models across India actively involved in porn shoots: Sagarika Shona Suman
Mumbai: Speaking to media persons in Mumbai today, actress and model Sagarika Shona Suman who first blew the lid off Raj Kundra’s porn racket, Sunday alleged that there are more than 300 models across India actively involved in porn shoots.
Sagarika said that about half of them were based in Mumbai, before the police crackdown in February.
She claimed that these models not just shoot porn, they are also involved in aggressively promoting their clips and films on social media including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
They host private chats on Insta and Facebook to promote their porn films in collusion with the film producers, Sagarika claimed.
After the Mumbai police arrested actress Gehana Vasisth and others in Feb, nearly 30 models immediately fled Mumbai to different places like Delhi and Kolkata.
Prominent among them were Tina Nandy and Nandita Dutta aka Nancy Bhabhi. The latter was arrested by the Kolkata police last week and is in police custody. Two photographers, a photo studio owner and two more persons were subsequently arrested by the Kolkata cops.
Tina Nandy who hails from Assam went to Kolkata and set up her own porn app. She began porn shoots with her live-in boyfriend and roped in other struggling actors to join her. It seems the Kolkata police are hunting for her as well and she has switched off her phone.
Meanwhile, actress Gehana Vasisth has alleged that the complainant woman is lying and their Whatsapp chats will expose her lie.
According to TOI, Gehana said “I was arrested on February 4, my phone and laptop were confiscated by the police. Those devices have all the chats where the same girl is thanking me for giving her work and at times asked for more money which I willingly gave not knowing what her intention was. All I expect from the police is that my chat with the girl should be brought forward and produced in court.”
