My name is Harpreet Kaur. I am 26 years old and have been living in Mumbai for the last two years. I do modeling and print shoots by profession. In this, I do body paint shoots, which is a very difficult task. Of course, it looks beautiful and attractive, but for just a few pennies, it has a long and deep tease behind it.There is a wide network of coordinators in Delhi and Mumbai for body paint. We have to be in constant touch with them. The first condition for this is a beautiful body. So that the picture made of paint in every part of the body emerges.The size of the upper part of the body is asked on the phone itself. For this reason, many girls also get breast implants done. I too got rejected due to this from many places. I didn’t have money to get implants done. There is also fear from above that lest his life may be lost by this.
After the photo shoot, the body is seen protruding or protruding from anywhere, then the offer of body shoot paint goes out of hand.
After the phone conversation, only when the coordinator is satisfied, does the matter proceed. Then it’s time to send nude photos in every pose as a solid proof. The pain starts from here. Getting a nude photo shoot is painful in itself, because the whole day goes into photographing every pose. The pose should be such that every part of the body looks raised.To be honest, it feels dirty while getting a nude photo done, but this is our profession. Body paint shoots get the most money. A fresher also gets one and a half to two lakh rupees for a shoot. If your body is good then you get 6 lakhs also, but there are many deceptions in it.Sending nude photos means the selection is sure, it does not happen. From here the dark journey of waiting begins. I always ask the coordinator after sending the photo what happened, then after a few days he says that the reply has not come from such a place.Then after a few days it tells that your final is not done. I have to say that if it is not finalized, then what happens to our nude photos, where are they used. This is a big question, but no one is able to answer it. We are told that the photos will not be leaked, but to say this much cannot be considered safe in the era of this cyber age.
I have sent 15 nude photos to an agency. I still don’t know what happened to those photos of me.
Recently I got an offer for a body paint shoot. My final selection was also done, but when it came to the photo shoot, the coordinator started saying that the shoot will happen today, tomorrow. It’s been two months, still no response. Looks like the answer will not come.Someone told me that if there is no selection for a body paint shoot, then those photos are sent to Canada. I think pornography is going on on the pretext of body paint shoot. These photos are sold to foreign magazines.One night I was preparing to sleep. The number was from Dubai. Someone from there said that I should send you a nude photo. I was very surprised that who is this man and what is he talking about. I spoke to him very rudely and hung up the phone. His phone kept ringing. After some time I saw a flurry of nude photos on my WhatsApp. That man was constantly sending me my nude photos.He told me that if you don’t send me more nude photos then I will put them on social media. I could not understand what to do, whom to tell. I have family, relatives on social media. First of all I deleted my Facebook account. After this the rest of the social media accounts were also removed. I didn’t send him my photo though. This incident scares me even today.
People must think that work is dirty, then why do we do this work. So the direct answer is that the industry has sat down after Corona. If I don’t do this, someone else will.
My question is that there is neither any law nor right in India regarding this. Don’t know where to complain. Go to the police, she does not support. I have to say that this too is a profession like other professions. At least its term and condition should be fixed.Let me tell you one more thing that even if the selection is confirmed, then it is not easy to shoot body paint. Women or men start to paint. These are body friendly colors that do not harm the body and are easily washed off while taking a bath.It takes 10 to 15 hours to paint a body. You have to stand for so many hours without moving, without eating or drinking. I have stood for 10 to 12 hours for some body shoot. There are body shoots on different themes.
