Rebtel Desi Dancers Take Over Times Square Giving Desnudas a Run for Their Money
Telecom Giant Rebtel Brings Topless Bollywood Dance to Times Square and Dances into the Center of Controversy
New York, NY (September 20th, 2015) – New York City is abuzz with chatter about the latest source of contention to hit Times Square: nude women in full body paint posing with onlookers for money. The press and general public have gone crazy over this story with multiple view points, and now Rebtel (www.Rebtel.com), has tactfully danced its way in to the eye of the storm. Last night Rebtel pulled off a well-crafted move that had Times Square roaring, and a slew of cameras snapping. The flash event featured a handful of gorgeous nude Bollywood dancers clad in only body paint styled in the design of green and gold half Sarees. The women hit Times square at 9:45PM and were filmed dancing to the popular Indian song, Chammak Challo, at the Pedestrian Plaza in Times Square https://youtu.be/orZ5z_Y_cKU . A fast crowd gathered to watch and hopped in for free photo ops following the flash event, including the current controversial times square Desnudas. Combining eyebrow raising female nudity, the use of body paint in Times Square, seductive Bollywood moves, and the daring choice of an incredibly risqué stunt for a generally conservative culture, Rebtel now stands alone among competitors such as Skype and Reliance, not only for their extremely affordable Unlimited Calling Plan to India, for just $8 a month with the first month free (www.rebtel.com/indiaunlimited), but also for their eagerness to ignore boundaries and become the latest topic in the already heated debate over such displays; all in the name of creating conversation within the Indian community. The topless dancers ended their dance holding a sign that said “Rebtel Gives You Something to Talk About #IndiaUnlimited”.
“Rebtel’s Indian users are a generation of free thinkers, free speakers, and free spirits.” States Varun Atrey, Rebtel Marketing Manager. “The way for us to get their attention is to step outside of the box and look at what makes such a demographic tick. Why let cultural conventions allow us to shy away from something that has people talking, when we know that our audience will applaud our efforts to change the tide using any means necessary. This video is our way of proving to rebellious fans that we are not afraid of upping the ante in order to spark communication. We are proud that Rebtel represents a new generation of free thinkers.”
Rebtel’s racy flash event and video of the event is already shaking up the Indian consumer market, addressing the disparity between conservative Indian culture, and the exhibitions of nudity that are currently raising questions about women’s rights to freedom over their bodies. Rebtel is not afraid to propel these questions, believing that they will prove to trigger even more discussion and lively debate between Indians living in America and their loved ones back home, making unlimited calling even more necessary than ever before. The telecom company is truly giving New York City and all of the United States something to talk about, and quite timely for their Unlimited calling release to India.
The flash event was filmed by Bravo Media with Beautiful Planning Marketing & PR Firm behind the stunt. Body paint was masterfully applied by well-known body paint artist Andy Golub. Dancers for the stunt were provided by Mixt Dance Group. The dance was strategically built from famed Bollywood movie Ra One and choreographed by Bollywood Touch’s lead choreographers, Monica Desai and Sanchi Lunawat. The body paint was fashioned in the style of the Chammak Challo scene.

Greek left-wing party Syriza set to form coalition
Greek left-wing party Syriza has secured 145 seats in the country’s 300-member parliament and is set to form a ruling coalition with Independent Greeks after winning 35.5 percent of the vote. The leader of New Democracy, Syriza’s main rival, has conceded defeat.
“The electoral result appears to be concluding with Syriza and Mr Tspiras in the lead,” New Democracy leader Vangelis Meimarakis said. “I congratulate him and urge him to create the government which is needed and come to parliament.”
“The electoral result appears to be concluding with Syriza and Mr Tspiras in the lead,” New Democracy leader Vangelis Meimarakis said. “I congratulate him and urge him to create the government which is needed and come to parliament.”
The conservatives themselves have secured 75 seats.Syriza is still falling short of an outright majority, meaning it will need coalition partners to form a government. The party hopes to complete this task within three days.
Addressing cheering crowds in Athens, Tspiras said that “Greece and the Greek people are synonymous with resistance and dignity, and this struggle will be continued together for another four years.”
“We have difficulties ahead, but we are also on firm ground,” he added. “We won’t recover from the struggle by magic, but it can happen with hard work.”
