Kavita Radheshyam, who's now selected as a Brand Ambassador for Smriti India (Save The lady Child) has get a hold of this photoshoot which she dedicates and pays a homage to south Indian actress Silk Smitha who committed suicide within the year 1996.
According to Kavita, “Silk Smitha was an actress who dared to make a mark of her own in a male dominating film industry. She was never from any filmy background, not a ‘Star’ daughter, never followed any lobby-ism or group-ism.
Silk started as a small time make up artist in south cinema and went directly to become a celebrity in an overly short period. I'M a large fan of Silk Smitha and want to salute and tribute my photoshoot to her”.
Kavita further added “I cannot understand why individuals are seeking to talk or show Silk Smitha in a negative way, from what I'VE heard through my accurate sources from South, Silk was an overly all the way down to earth woman who went out of her approach to help people in need.
I met a producer whom I WILL NOT name, he had worked along with her and Silk didn’t charge a single penny for the reason that producer was in debt”.
On the shoot, she says, “First of all, my team was searching for costumes for this shoot, Designer Babita Sharma worked for 15 days and he or she came up with this concept of wearing only a white shirt and getting the images done. For those who search Silk at the internet, you will discover her mostly in a white shirt or a saree.
My photographer Reena Khan and artistic Eswar both were kind enough to turn me Silk Smitha’s cult Tamil hit film “Playboy”. After some long discussions, I'LL feel that my designer Babita Sharma and my photographers Reena Khan and Eswar were scared in the event that they could do any justice to the photoshoot.
But now, after seeing the results, all of us are more then happy. People literally started a comparison. A few of them also said that I WILL be today’s Silk Smitha, that is an honor for me”.
Kavita Radheshyam is awaiting the discharge of her upcoming hindi feature film 5 Ghantey Mien 5 Crore that is about to hit cinema’s in all places on Eid day. But this might even be a fresh idea of gaining publicity for the film in the name of Silk Smitha?
On this Kavita said "The film isn't yet completed. One song and a few climax portions are still left to be shot, If this was a Publicity Stunt, I'D have done this before the release of the Film".
First a Semi Naked photo shoot at the cruelty on animals in india, Then an over-coat jacket of brand name Ambassadorship of Smriti India (Save The woman Child) organisation, Now again a sizzling hot filled with expose photo shoot within the name of Tribute. If this isn't a movie Publicity stunt, Than is that this another way of grabbing media and public attention?
Only time will tell if this was a Silk Tribute or a walk to the trail of (Indian Style) Kim Kardashian.
