(click on image for full view)

Protima Bedi was truly the wild one. Even her daughter Pooja was no less a sex symbol in her prime. In 1974, Protima gained sudden notoriety when she streaked in full public glare on Juhu Beach at the launch of Cine Blitz. Later in an interview , she said:

I shed my clothes, my inhibitions, my conditionings by outdated social norms so that you too can discover yourselves.

I direct this not to the younger generation but to the adults, the parents who have not understood their own sexuality.

When they take shelter behind these conventions, they are living in a world of their own delusions.
