Cover-up

Shraddha KapoorShraddha Kapoor was recently threatened with a media blackout by the miffed Mumbai paparazzi. Though that feud has since been resolved, the young actress is facing another blackout, across the border.

Mirror has unearthed a picture of the actress which was published in a Peshawar-based newspaper, Daily Mashriq.
The picture was clicked at a recent promotional event of her just-released movie, with Shraddha dressed casually in denim shorts and a top.
But, the Daily Mashriq, which claims to be “the largest circulated newspaper of the region”, obviously felt that the outfit was too risque for its readers. And so they decided to digitally add on a pair of knee-length black leggings and cover Shraddha’s legs.
When shown the image, Shraddha laughed over it. The film production company’s CEO, Tanuj Garg, who is familiar with the workings of the Pakistani press, said: “It’s a common practice in certain regions.”
