In the ad, the boyfriend of "Dafna" doesn't understand why she's mourning

But FHM India's editor told the BBC that nothing had been doctored.

"The idea to have ISI written on her arm was mine, and it was Veena's idea to have it in block letters," he added.
He said that the image was intended to be playful, saying that: "In India we joke about this... if anything goes wrong... we say the ISI must be behind this."

With current border bombing incidence and US rift with ISI, this story takes on a strange background.
