Is Bollywood getting enough sex?
TNN | Sep 9, 2011, 12.00AM ISTNecklines have plunged to dangerous depths, the use of bed-sheets to cover-up 'controversial' bedroom scenes is a thing of the past and roses embracing each other is no longer symbolic of a kissing scene. Actors are tagged as serial kissers and skin-show is in!
This week, on Bollywood Big Story, zoOm will take the covers off this hot and sensational topic. Is sex overrated in our industry? Do the 'family movie' audience still cringe at the idea of watching lovemaking on scenes the silver-screen? Is Bollywood getting enough sex or are we sex starved?
Bollywood's filmmakers and actors fight it out on Bollywood Big Story this week. On Sat, 10th Sept, at 12:30pm only on zoOm - India's No.1 Bollywood channel.
Naseeruddin Shah: "At least for The Dirty Picture, the word 'dirty' can only be used in its literal sense."
Anurag Kashyap: "My cameras have never lingered around legs and cleavages. I handle sexuality very healthily, unlike other A-list directors."
Vidya Balan: "I don't feel uncomfortable while shooting bold scenes because most of them, in my case, are aesthetically shot."
Madhur Bhandarkar: "Indian audience is different. Sex might be a casual thing in the west, but we still see it as a stigma."
Sonam Kapoor: "I don't understand why we have to make such a big deal out of it. We watch it so casually in Hollywood films."
Arjun Rampal: "I try to avoid bold scenes unless the script demands it, but I don't see why we should look at sex as a novelty. We're from the land of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro after all!
