New Delhi: Kareena Kapoor Khan, one of Bollywood’s most famous actresses, has been a great career of 25 years, but she has never done any intimate or sexual scenes on screen. Recently, the actress for The Dirty magazine revealed in an interview with activist Gilian Anderson that this has been an option during her entire journey in the film industry. Speaking openly about intimate scenes in Indian cinema, Kareena said that she has never been comfortable about such scenes. He emphasized that Bollywood needs to change the way you reflect the intemsy, it should be seen as a human experience instead of a Titilating Element.

Kareena’s ideology on sexuality
The actress explained that it only depends on how we see the whole idea. We do not see sexuality or sex as a human experience. We have to start watching and respecting it more before showing it on screen. This is my faith. During the interview, when Anderson asked why she was never interested in doing sex scenes, Kareena replied, ‘I personally feel that it is not important to push the story forward. This is not something that I think is necessary. I know that I will not be able to do so, so I have never done this.

Kareena Kapoor further explained how the will and sexuality of women in Indian society is still not considered normal like the West. She said, ‘From where I come, we are still not as open that the story can be presented to you, the way you can feel it openly. While the will of women in the West is openly introduced, but it has always been so open about it. Despite her stance on intimate scenes, Kareena played a sex worker in the 2003 film Chameli, an acting that is one of her most unconventional choices. When asked if he realized independence by playing that role, he admitted that it was a decisive moment of his career.

Kareena is happy for the role found in Chameli
The actress further says, ‘It was a significant turn in a way because it also helped me to enhance her confidence, her sexuality at that young age. I understood many kinds of things. The fact is that I did not have to conform to traditional perceptions, such as seeing a special way of femininity, being beautiful, because she was very helpless and impeccable. I think it was a form of beauty, which I really appreciate. I am happy that I got a chance to play that role. This inspired me to become more fearless. ‘
