  Gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric cloud has been extensively
studied to investigate the nature of resulting singularity. However, there has
been considerable debate about the admissibility of certain initial density
distributions. Using the Newtonian limit of the equations governing collapse of
a fluid with an equation of state p=p(\rho) it is shown that the density
distribution has to be even function of r in a spherically symmetric situation
provided dp/d\rho \ne 0, even in comoving coordinates. We show that recent
claim by Singh that the discrepancy pointed out earlier is due to their use of
comoving coordinates is totally incorrect. It is surprising that he expects the
use of comoving coordinates to make any difference in this matter. It is also
argued that strong curvature naked singularities in gravitational collapse of
spherically symmetric dust do not violate the cosmic censorship hypothesis.
