Claudia Ciesla is not a stripper. Let me repeat. Claudia Ciesla is NOT a stripper. She wants to make it perfectly clear (if my first statement isn’t enough to change your mind) that the Indian media has got it all wrong.
Ciesla, rumored to be Salman Khan’s new girlfriend, is not happy in the least bit about how the press has portrayed her as a nude model and stripper. Ciesla says it was only a revealing picture or two that have made waves (again, NOT nude ones), but she insists that it is in the past.
“I had done just one shoot 4 years ago and that too for a very prestigious international publication,” Ciesla admits. “That was at the beginning of my career, and while I won’t say it was a mistake, I may add in hindsight that it was an indiscretion.”
Claudia Ciesla wants everyone to know that she means well by working to promote Indian fashion in Europe. She lamented on the situation, saying that one or two fake photos circulating around on the Internet immediately make news.
“I have modeled and showcased Bollywood designer Umair Zafar’s bridal collection all over Europe. But the media doesn’t seem to notice that,” said Ciesla. “There are several good [pictures] around wherein I am either modeling Indian outfits by Umair or showcasing traditional Indian wear. But that doesn’t make it to the front page.”
While Claudia Ciesla is known in other parts of the world purely for her work as a supermodel, the Indian press and gossipmongers seem to not have the full story according to her.
“I cannot explain to every journalist individually, but I humbly request the Indian media through this report to kindly get their facts right before ‘terming’ or ‘labeling’ someone. It’s a really tough world out there. It’s not easy to make it as a super model. It takes a lot of hard work, perseverance, determination and sacrifice – hours at the gym, diets, rehearsals – it’s not just cakewalk. Years of hard work to build a good reputation can be destroyed by just one irresponsible report.”
If Claudia Ciesla’s words won’t convince the Indian press, her management definitely will. Flynn Remedios, her spokesperson, plans on suing anyone and everyone who continues to label her a stripper or nude model.
Claudia has confirmed that she will participate in the Living Talent Face of India,a beauty pageant and fashion show to be held in Mumbai in June and also walk the ramp for a charity event in support of Mumbai's street children. According ton Remedios, "Claudia is very sensitive towards Indian culture. She immediately consented to do the talent contest and beauty pageant “Living Talent Face of India” event which will contribute a substantial sum of money for the benefit of street children.
It’s good to see that Claudia wanted to clear that up. A reputation is hard to build up but easy to tear down. Hopefully the press watches what they say before they write it. What do you guys think of her clearing the air once and for all? Drop us a comment with your thoughts.
