Sapna Bhavnani says, 'Censorship killing the vibe' after FIR against Milind Soman
"So much censorship is killing the vibe," hair stylist Sapna Bhavnani wrote on Twitter after FIR was filed against Milind Soman for running nude on a beach
Celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani took to her Twitter handle to express disappointment after Goa Police recently registered a case against model Milind Soman for allegedly promoting obscenity. Milind Soman posted a picture of himself running nude on a beach in the state to mark his birthday, a police official said on Saturday.
"So much censorship is killing the vibe," Bhavnani wrote. The case was registered on Friday, a day after Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM), a political outfit, lodged a complaint in this connection, he said. Soman had shared his picture on his Instagram profile, which showed him running nude on a beach to mark his 55th birthday.

“Soman has been booked under IPC section 294 (obscene act in public place) and section 67 of the Information and Technology Act after the complaint by Goa Suraksha Manch,” Superintendent of Police (South) Pankaj Kumar Singh said.
In the Instagram post, Soman gave the photo credit to his wife Ankita Konwar. The GSM in its complaint has alleged that the model had indulged in obscenity at a public place. It also said that the picture projected Goa in a wrong manner.
On Thursday, the police had arrested actor-model Poonam Pandey and her husband for allegedly trespassing on government property and shooting an “objectionable” video at a dam in Canacona town in South Goa.
