Actress Shilpa Shetty has denied rumours of receiving court's summons over "obscene" publicity photos.

An outraged Tamil lawyer, T. Dakshinamoorthy had claimed that actors Shilpa and Reema Sen have violated India's Indecent Representation of Women Act, and misled youngsters, after explicit photos of them were printed in Indian newspaper Tamil Morass.

He said the pictures for the film 'Auto Shankar' presented the long-legged Bollywood beauty and Reema "posing in an obscene manner". Warrants for the arrest of the actors were issued when they failed to go to court to answer the April 2006 charges.

But, gorgeous Shilpa has shot back at accusations, insisting the pictures were 'not' obscene.

"Only my stomach is showing and poor Reema is covered from head to toe. Gosh! I have never done anything offensive in my life. We're actors, we're meant to entertain - but I know where to draw the line and will never cross it," The Sun quoted the 31-year-old, as saying.

"They're calling these pictures obscene? Should we wear burkhas, or what? Anybody who's seen those pictures would know I'd never pose for anything obscene," she added, before saying: "It's not as if the pictures are from a photo-shoot, they are film stills.We have a censor board in the country, if they did not think those shots were obscene, why should anyone have a problem?"

Meanwhile, Shilpa's spokeswoman Jazz Barton insisted that the case had been dropped because the lawyer, from Madras, was a "publicity seeker". She added: "He was also a fan. He did it as a publicity stunt."
