We have suhaagraat scenes but do we ever really see them doing it during consummation, unlike non-desi/Western movies? Most of it is shadow play, close shots of neck/cheek/forehead/eye kisses and mild foreplay if they're being boldš or straight-up an after morning shot of them lying under the covers to imply they sealed the deal. A lot of ITV intimacy is just us using our vivid imaginationsš With kisses though, they actually have to do it if they want to show it. Unlike pretend-foreplay/pretend-sex (that actors do), there is no way to pretend-kiss without making it look super fake.
