The beautiful veteran actress Kajol is currently busy in the promotions of her upcoming web series, Lust Stories 2 which is slated to premiere on 29 June on Netflix. She will be seen in a story directed by Amit R Sharma, though the actress has accepted in an interview earlier that she feels uncomfortable in acting lusty on screen yet Lust Stories 2 is all about normalizing female pleasure.
When Kajol was asked in this regard, she said, “At one point in time as a society, we were very open about it. It was part of our ancient texts and our education. We later closed ourselves off from it. But at the end of the day, it is a very normal part of life that we cannot do without. I think it needs to be normalised the same way that we’ve normalised eating and drinking. It’s really a question of making it a part of the conversation rather than closing it off. Trying not to talk about it gives it all the more attention and focus.”
Talking about the changes that have come in the Indian cinema over the years as far as portrayal of lust is concerned, the Baazigar actress stated, “Lust used to be two flowers coming together at one point. Two red roses used to come together and that was it. Next, she’s pregnant hahaha. So I think we’ve evolved just a step forward and decided to make something like Lust Stories 2. I believe cinema reflects society. Right now, the movies are speaking in the language that love is defined by today.”
She added, “As far as eternal love stories are concerned, I don’t think anyone believes in it today. Nobody wants to die for anyone for sure. There is no belief in eternal love stories. If not you, there will be someone else. People believe in multiple soulmates these days. And therefore, all the love stories we’ve made so far have been very differently made. They’re based more on friendships, modern relationships and society.”
