Sherlyn Chopra, who featured in her birthday suit for the magazine in 2014, paid a tribute to Hugh Hefner, who died at his Los Angeles home on Wednesday. He was 91.

"A true visionary who chose to not conform to the dogma set by the self-proclaimed guardians of the society but instead followed his bliss by acting on his excitement consistently," Sherlyn posted on Instagram.

Her post was accompanied by an image in which she is seen with Hefner, who is dressed in a deep red bathrobe, while she is dressed in black.

"The experience of having shot for Playboy has been one of the most liberating ones that I've had so far," she had said in a statement in 2014.
