Golshifteh Farahani says she has been contacted by the Iranian government, telling her that she is no longer welcome in the country and advising her not to return home.
The offending photo - a black-and-white 'art shot' featuring the 28-year-old Farahani posing against a black backdrop with her hands strategically placed over her breasts - was first published in Madame Le Figaro.

The pic is in the article. Now, I donot think this pic is offensive and indecent in any way, but thats just me. I actually like the pic, it has a nice touch of sensuality, but is certainly not over the top. Other pics of her I think also show a beautiful woman who is proud of herself.
Much better than pics of war, and of bloodied bodies, which we see daily.

Is this pic offensive or indecent according to you? And why?
Is this pic a valid reason the ban her from Iran? I most certainly donot think so.

Personally I don’t like her as strong actress. I think there are other actresses in Iran much better than her. But seeing her picture few days ago, made me happy. When I saw the news on facebook, after all horrible news about war, nuclear, sanctions etc etc, I had a big smile. She is pretty and she is proud. It is her own body and she has every right to pose for any picture she wants.

Considering the government has police for hijab in the streets, it was predictable that she won’t be allowed in Iran anymore. Her Father and sister are actors too and the govt might be already bugging them. I am sure she was well aware of the consequences. I mean there are some universities in Iran right now that suspend students who have profile in facebook! So publishing a picture like that would certainly cause harsh reactions from government.
