Kareena Kapoor and Gillian Anderson recently sat down for a frank discussion on female representation in cinema, exploring the nuances of female desire and intimacy on screen. While Gillian has been known for portraying complex and uninhibited female characters, Kareena admitted that she has never done a sex scene in her career and doesn’t see herself doing one in the future. She pointed out that Indian audiences may not be as open to such portrayals as some might believe.
In a conversation hosted by The Dirty Magazine, Gillian asked Kareena about her views on filming intimate scenes. Kareena responded, “I feel like it’s not important to take a story forward. It is not something I believe is required in the form of a story to show that. I know I might not be comfortable doing that on screen. I never have done it. We have to start looking at and respecting it a lot more before we put it on screen. Where I’m coming from is the fact that we’re still not as open.”
This year marks an incredible milestone for Kareena as she completes 25 years in Bollywood. The daughter of legendary actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita, she stepped into the industry in 2000 with Refugee, a film that also introduced Abhishek Bachchan. While the movie did not fare well at the box office, Kareena’s talent shone through, and she swiftly carved out her place as one of Bollywood’s most celebrated actresses.
