Mandakini calls her breastfeeding scene in Ram Teri Ganga Maili ‘pure’: Nowadays, it is all about sexuality

Actress Mandakini has made her comeback after two decades with the song Maa O Maa that marks her son Rabbil debut. In an interview, the actress opened up about her comeback after 26 years, her debut film Ram Teri Ganga Maili and about the most talked about breastfeeding scene of Raj Kapoor’s film. Apart from the breastfeeding scene, Mandakini also became popular because of her scene of bathing in a transparent white saree.

The breastfeeding scene was much ahead of the time and it stirred controversy. When asked about the apprehensions that she overcame for the film, Mandakini refused to call it a ‘breastfeeding scene’. She said, “First of all, it was not a breastfeeding scene, it was shot in such a way that it could look like one.”

She added, “If I go on to explain how it was done, it would be too long (a story). The cleavage that is seen on screen, you see so much of it, it is all technically done. But the way skin show is done in today’s times, that was nothing. We should not be even talking about it. It (her scene) was also a pure form. Nowadays, it is all about sexuality”.

She also revealed that Raj Kapoor wanted her because he wanted a fresh face. “Not an established face, he has even said this. He said ‘how can I make someone pure Ganga if they have an established image?’ I don’t think any such thing….I don’t know,” added Mandakini when asked about Padmini Kolhapure’s statement that Raj Kapoor wanted to replace her after shooting Ram Teri Ganga Maili.
