Why Kareena Kapoor Avoids Intimate Scenes On Screen

Kareena Kapoor and Sex Education actor Gillian Anderson engaged in a heart-to-heart conversation about the showcase of sex on screen and how it differs between the East and the West. Gillian Anderson confessed that she is comfortable doing certain things on screen and understands how the profession demands her to perform.

When Gillian Anderson asked Kareena about the kind of boundaries she has for herself, Kareena Kapoor said she's not comfortable doing the scenes. "Personally, I feel like they (sex scenes) are not important to take a story forward. It's not something that I believe is required. I am not comfortable doing it onscreen," said Kareena, pointing out the prudishness of the Indian society regarding sex and its representation.

"We don't look at sexuality or sex as a human experience. We have to start respecting sex a lot more before showing it on screen. Where I come from, we are not as open as you, or how the narrative is out there. Female desire is openly tackled in the West," said Kareena about the mindset difference between the East and the West.
