Tamannaah Bhatia has opened up about shooting intimate scenes for Lust Stories 2, and she also shared her thoughts about breaking her 'no-kiss rule' for popularity.
Actress Tamannaah Bhatia will soon be seen in the anthology Lust Stories 2. In the 18 years of her career, Bhatia has stayed away from intimate scenes and said no to kissing scenes. Tamannaah has broken her 18-year-old-no-kissing rule for Sujoy Ghosh's directorial.
While promoting Lust Stories 2, with Film Companion, Tamannaah said, “I really wanted to work with Sujoy and I’m really happy that he thought of me for this part especially because I have done literally no intimacy in my career or very little intimacy in my career. I was that audience that would get awkward and I was that audience that ‘main ye kabhi nahi karungi’,‘Main kabhi nahi kiss karungi on screen.'"
Bhatia added that she was that person, and shooting this film has been an evaluation for her to get out of that framework, which served a certain audience. The actress shared that, "India is huge and there are so many parts of India that still needs to evolve. There is a lot of evolution that has happened already, thanks to even internet and social media, everyone has information on their fingertips but I do feel like because everyone’s consuming so much content — I felt like as an actor, I don’t want this to be something that is holding me back."
