Bathtub, not shower
It's the season of sleaze here in India. Newspapers in the last few days have been full of the delightfully acronymous and acrimonious DPS MMS scandal, as well as the Kapoor and Kapur Kissing Games (or K3G), and just as editors have finished editorialising on those weighty matters comes, darn it, another sleaze scandal. This time, it's South Indian actress Trisha Krishnan who is in the news, complaining about a 2-and-a-half minute video clip circulating on the internet that purports to show her taking a shower. She claims it isn't her in the clip. A report on Galatta.com elaborates:
Many of the journalists I know, aware of their responsibilty to ascertain the truth, are not taking this at face value, and are scouring the internet furiously in search of the clip. Good luck to them.
Trisha’s mother Uma strongly denied that it was her daughter in the bathing scene. She said that her daughter does not have the habit of taking bath in the shower and uses only the bathtub. She further added that the body language of the girl in the film was entirely different from Trisha’s and moreover Trisha does not own any jeans and T-shirt similar to the one that the girl removes just before her bath.
