Actor Kareena Kapoor has reacted to the controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s nude photoshoot. The actor said that people have a lot of time on their hands and that the photoshoot is an ‘open ticket’ for everyone to discuss.

Ranveer became the centre of national discussion after he posed nude for Paper Magazine and shared the photos the next day. An FIR was filed in Mumbai and an NGO insisted that he had ‘outraged the modesty’ of women by posing for such photographs. Speaking to India Today, Kareena said, “I think bolne ke liye sabko bolna hai (I think people say it for the sake of saying). It is an open ticket for everyone to discuss and have debates. I feel like everyone has a lot of free time too because everyone has an opinion on everything. I don’t know why it is such a big take. Like I said, it just proves that everyone has a lot of free time.”
