"When the Censor Board has cleared her film for public viewing, where does the question of obscenity arise?" Vyas wondered.
A Madurai advocate had filed a case against Shilpa for posing for an allegedly obscene photograph in Tamil magazine "Tamil Murasu", saying it "polluted the minds of young people".
The picture is a still from Shilpa's Kannada film "Auto Shankar" that has been approved by the Censor Board, the actress's spokesperson, Dale Bhagwagar, submitted a memorandum to the NCW.
"Shilpa had neither posed for the picture, nor had given permission to publish it," Bhagwagar pointed out, adding the actress was feeling targeted and victimised due to the complaint.
According to Vyas, "(censor board chief) Sharmila Tagore should also come out in Shilpa's support. In fact, all self-respecting women of India should speak up for her".
