As the list of glory seekers who want to strip for a cause increases in length by the day, here comes DJ Jenny, who has left her deejaying console and her clothes behind to support not one, but two causes in as many weeks. And while Salina Wali Khan had just made a promise, our Jenny has gone a step further – she has already posed without clothes.
DJ Jenny's Annagiri is against the casting couch. She says that there are few women music directors in Bollywood because the Casting Couch tips the balance against them. Jenny's idea of protest is to go topless, wear a Gandhi topi, get "Me Anna Hazare" written in a combination of Hindi and English on her back, and pose for the cameras in the hope that the casting couch will vanish by this act.
Just last week, Jenny had decided to protest in her unique way by rallying for a print campaign that demanded reservation for women in the education and employment sector. In an initiative with a Mumbai-based NGO, Citizens Action Forum, on Independence Day, titled 'Are women in India really independent?', she covered her strategic areas in sheer tri-colour cloth and posed for the shutterbugs. According to sources, members of extremist organisations have threatened to blacken Jenny's face and impose a ban on her in discos and pubs in the city. Jenny, however, seemingly claims that the campaign was designed to raise awareness, and not to grab eyeballs
