Nandana Sen feels nudity portrayed by her in Rang Rasiya symbolises woman power. She goes on to say

"If a Kate Winslet does a nude scene, it's okay there. But if it happens in India we create an uproar. What's wrong in depicting nudity in a dignified way? There are two ways of depicting nudity. One is demeaning to a woman where you objectify her body, while the other one celebrates the power of women.”
