Kareena Kapoor Khan has clocked in 25 years in the film industry. However, the actress has avoided scenes that are sexual in nature. In her recent conversation with Gillian Anderson hosted by The Dirty Magazine, the Hollywood actress asked Kareena about her thoughts on filming sex scenes.

Kareena responded, “I feel like it’s not important to take a story forward. It is not some thing 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 don’t look at your sexuality or sex as a human experience. We have to start looking at and respecting that a lot more before we put it on screen. Where I’m coming from is the fact that we’re still not as open as having the narrative the way it is out there for you guys.”

Kareena, who played the role of a sex worker in Chameli (2004), said that the film was a game-changer for her. She shared, “It was kind of a turning point because it also helped me tap into my own confidence, my sensuality at a young age.”

She added, “I kind of realized a lot of things. The fact that I didn’t have to conform to the traditional notions like looking a particular way of femininity, of being beautiful, because she was so brash and unapologetic. I think that was a form of beauty, which I really appreciate. It pushed me to be a lot more fearless.”
