Melbourne, March 14 : Tania Zaetta dropped her layers to strike a raunchy pose for the cover of Ralph magazine''s latest issue.

The former Bollywood star, who played a minor role as an American billionaire''s wife in "Bunty Aur Babli" and was featured in "Salaam Namaste", in one picture appeared topless while her long hair covered her breasts.

The 38-year-old revealed she was least bothered about the criticism regarding her tropical-themed snaps taken near the Gold Coast.

``If Jennifer Aniston and other amazing women like that can get out there and lead a healthy lifestyle and not be afraid to wear a bikini on the beach, then I''m not either,'''' the Herald Sun quoted her as saying.

``I have had a very long and fulfilling career in different countries around the world. I''m very proud of the shots, I''m proud of being my age, and having a healthy lifestyle," she added.

The Aussie actress, who was falsely accused of bedding soldiers while performing in Afghanistan last year, said she would have passed the opportunity to pose for the magazine had it been offered to her last year.

She said: "There''s certain times when I don''t think it''s appropriate The timing for me last year wasn''t right. I wasn''t comfortable doing it last year." (ANI)
