A farmer in India claims placing a poster of a porn star in his fields has saved his crops.
Chenchu Reddy, a cauliflower, okra and chilli farmer, believes his crops were failing because of his neighbour's 'evil eye'.
Speaking to local media, Chenchu said: "Year after year, I would suffer losses because of a poor yield. The crops looked healthy for some time, but then something would go wrong. It then struck me that my farm is located next to a road and every passer-by can see it."
"This year, I have a good crop on 10 acres. This has been attracting unnecessary attention of villagers and passersby. To ward off their evil eye, I thought of this idea of putting up the big flax poster of Sunny Leone."
He claims the trick has worked:
"Nobody is looking at my crop now. It's been a month and I can see the difference. People don't look at my farm as they are busy staring at the pictures."
It's certainly an alternative scarecrow!
