Except a few A list actors, they don't hold much say or power. So if an actor refuse or say they are uncomfortable with certain scenes esp the ones that aren't popular the makers will simply go for actors that are willing to do it. Even in a corporate world there are jobs we do that we might not enjoy doing but we have to because it's part of our job. Being intimate or glamorous is part of it. Bollywood and Hollywood are extremely glamorous industries that majorly cater to an audience that want glitz and glamour who are comfortable watching intimate scenes and high fashion clothes. So almost all of their commercial movies will have intimate scenes with hot leads. Even guys will be shirtless and have to show their six pack abs. Pak dramas don't require that amount of glits and glamour because the majority of the audience are family audience and they are not comfortable watching it. Pak movies have sufficient amount of intimacy and skin show. So its most important thing is the comfort level of audience than the comfort level of the actors.
I completely agree with you!! I have same thoughts. It's just that again I have read interviews where male actors and directors have sexually exploited heroines in the name of it and it's scary to hear. I recently read that in BW forum where an article mentioned how Vinod Khanna and the director of that movie went for many retakes of VK kissing Madhuri apparently because he was enjoying it 🤢and Madhuri did mention about it in later IVs that she regretted doing that scene.
My point was not related to what audience wants to see, I wrote it as the response that how such things stop many aspiring actors to take up this as a profession. Baki, cons are attached with every job, and it is a business after all. Sabko apna fayda hi chahiye, actors want fame and money, producers want money and audience wants entertainment in the end. Comfortability or not, no one cares, actors even if they are uncomfortable, they will do it whether script actually demands it or not , in the end, it's a race and they don't want to lose out..
