Bollywood starlet Tania Zaetta accused of sex with soldiers in Afghanistan

Paul Larter in Brisbane
A Bollywood starlet who made her name going beyond the call of duty in Who Dares Wins, an Australian TV stunt show, has been accused of having sex with soldiers while on a tour to entertain troops in Afghanistan.



Tania Zaetta (above) was named in a confidential briefing paper to Australia’s Defence Minister as having slept with special forces soldiers last month at a military base in Tarin Kowt, the capital of Oruzgan province. Pictures and a video were said to have been taken.

But Australia’s military was in retreat last night, admitting that it broke its privacy regulations by naming the actress, 37, in the confidential note intended for Joel Fitzgibbon, the Defence Minister.

The Defence Department apologised to Zaetta for the leak, and Mr Fitzgibbon said he had ordered an inquiry into how the document — officially referred to as a “hot issues brief” — became public.

Zaetta, who has appeared on Baywatch and Mission Implausible, a British pay-TV show, denied the allegations and said there had been little opportunity to be alone with any soldier, even if she had wanted to be.

“How does a supposed document . . . that I don’t know about get leaked in the first place — that’s a little bit concerning about the security of the country,” she said.

“It’s complete lies . . . apart from being hurtful, it’s damaging to a woman’s career, to her reputation.” The Government now faces a potential compensation payout after she sought legal advice over the claims, which the document said had been made by Angry Anderson, a veteran Australian rock star and fellow tour performer.

Kevin Rudd, the Prime Minister, reluctantly commented on the scandal, which drew criticism from the opposition conservative Liberal Party over invasion of privacy. “These matters are under investigation within the Defence Department and I will leave it for that investigation to reach its own conclusions,” Mr Rudd said.

Anderson, the bald former frontman for the rock band Rose Tattoo, denied that he had made a complaint.

Another performer said the entertainers had been told that they would breach Defence Force regulations if they fraternised with the troops. “I have heard of quickies but I have never heard of anything that quick . . . a tour like that is hard work,” John Clinton, of the country rock band the Wolverines, said.

Zaetta co-hosted the 1990s television show Who Dares Wins. She has featured in several Bollywood productions including a recent Charlie’s Angels-style hit, Mr. Black, Mr. White.

Very not bad.

What's... wrong with that?

Nice.

Where do I sign up?  

I'd eat curry off of every inch of her.

Crikey!


eta Special forces indeed!

I bet those guys are really tore up about it

Lucky bastards.

If that's not entertaining the troops, I don't know what is!

Quoted: I'd eat curry off of every inch of her.

Fuck, i'd jam curry in my pee hole for a night with her.

Quoted: Lucky bastards.

yep

I could be shot in 17 states for what I'd do to her

Now thats good ole fashioned troop moral.

She is very pleasing to the eyes.  

Where do I enlist?

Its all good for the troops ya know

Quoted: If that's not entertaining the troops, I don't know what is!

+1!

Another image of the outstanding entertainer in question...

...and yet another...

Hell yeah


I would have done half of the Cleveland Cavalier dance team if given the chance.  They were already laying out in bikini's suntanning on their building....who would miss one or two downstairs in the bathroom?

Quoted: I could be shot in 17 states for what I'd do to her

Shit. For me all 50 and the U.S. territories as well.

So I take it that she goes down under?

So how long before India puts her on trial? If they prosecute actors for kissing, I think their heads will explode over this.

I'm going to Afghanistan!

She was hot when she was younger...

...shes not that hot anymore...

gorgeous

Bless her heart!!!

Seriously!

Name one Holywood starlet that is on tour with the USO.

Name one of the starlets that would lower themselves to the level of having relations with our warriors.


She might have faded a bit with age, but who cares.

She's Hot, and loves grunts!!!!!!!!!

Can ya do more for Morale????


If ya don't love her, kiss my ass!!!

She's doing what Bob Hope would do, if he was a chick and Hot!

And no... don't fuck with Bob Hope!

S-28

Hell I'd hit it!

Edit: Anyone who wouldn't and is not married is gay

I knew I should have goe there not Iraq~!

Quoted: She was hot when she was younger... ...shes not that hot anymore...

As hotness fades with age, desperation steps in to take up the slack...

She looks like that and is 37?  Daaaamn!

So the Aussies get hot pie while deployed??

Damn, now I guess she will never make it big in Hollywood
But if she did good for her

Wasn't there an episode of The Unit about this?

Kharn

Hooo leeee cow.

Way to help out with the war effort!

She did her part to boost morale... That's it and I'm sure a few other things got boosted as well!!!

I think every deployed unit should have a Bollywood starlet attached to their unit.

Quoted: If that's not entertaining the troops, I don't know what is!

That's right!

She's just doing her part to fight the war on terror

She vigorously denies the allegations of her vigorousness!

On a more serious note- there will be plenty of arse kickings to go round at DoD over this, esp. if she sues.

double tap

A 37 year old Indian chick that looks that hot?  

I really thought that they all "hit the wall" by 30.

Quoted: A Bollywood starlet who made her name going beyond the call of duty in Who Dares Wins,

I bet the SAS are pissed they missed out on that

Looks like some of the Aussies didn't pull out

I hope it's true, for our boy's sake.

Hopefully there will be more of such occurrences.

Quoted: Wasn't there an episode of The Unit about this? Kharn

Yes, but she was a self centered prissy b!tch...... and she stole the one guy's lyrics!!!!(that was funny!!)

Problem is that "bollywood" stars are all supposed to be virgins in the eyes of the audience.  No real sexy scenes in the movies and Vishnu forbid non-marital sexual relations.

It is basically the polar opposite of the Hollywood, round-robin bed competition.

That being said, if she wanted a bunch of Aussies to giver her the boomerang, then Good on her.
