Gone are the days when actresses used to drape themselves in nine yards of fabric. Today's actresses don't hesitate to bare it all. While some may term it as the demand of the script, some just shed it all for publicity. Let's take a look at B-Town actresses who went topless for movie posters.Poonam Pandey is known for shedding off her clothes at the drop of a hat. So when she posed naked for the poster of her first Bollywood flick, Nasha, it hardly came as a surprise. The actress merely covered her essentials with black placards, leaving nothing to imagination. Though the movie failed to create a buzz, this poster definitely kept Poonam in the news for quite sometime.

Kareena Kapoor Khan grabbed attention with the first poster of Saif Ali Khan-starrer Kurbaan. Kareena dared to bare for the sepia-toned poster. Directed by Rensil D'Silva, the film was a romantic-thriller. Saif and Kareena's lip-lock too made headlines for quite some time. Kareena allegedly had requested the director to delete the sex scenes from the movie as she was worried about how her parents would take it. Shiv Sena activists tore down Kurbaan posters alleging that the posters were immoral and could corrupt the mind of children and women.
