Mandakini Draws Comparison Between Her Breastfeeding Scene In ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ And Nudity Today

Breastfeeding is still something Indian society is not comfortable with when they see a woman do it in public. There has been outrage so many times before when women have breastfed in public. So, imagine the public’s disapproval when Mandakini did a scene in Ram Teri Ganga Maili where she was seen breastfeeding on the screen. Given how conservative society was back then, showing off a breastfeeding scene was a huge thing at that time. In a recent interview, Mandakini has opened up about that scene and how it was shot. She has also drawn a comparison between that scene and the nude scenes shot today.
