Director Ravi Jadhav wants to rid nude artist models from stigma

<p>Director Ravi Jadhav wants to rid nude artist models from stigma, but finds popular perception challenging his idea even before he has had his say</p>

When Ravi Jadhav was pursuing a degree in applied arts at the Sir JJ School of Arts back in the 1990s, he was curious about one particular classroom on campus. The board outside read: Nude. Do not enter. "It was a classified section, one that could be accessed only by third to fifth year students of fine arts. "Besides the professor, and the models of course, no one was allowed inside," recalls Jadhav. Outside the classroom, the models were like anyone else, chatting with students in the canteen over chai. "I wondered what made them choose to model nude before art students. What did they tell those back home?"
