Kareena Kapoor Did Steamy Scenes Before Tamannaah Bhatia: Tamannaah Bhatia's latest series, 'Jee Karda,' is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Since its release, the actress has been the centre of attention due to the steamy scenes featured in the show. Tamannaah finally addressed the matter and shared her thoughts on the intimate scenes, particularly those involving Suhail Nayyar.
During a recent interview with DNA, she said, "These scenes are very instrumental in order to tell the journeys of these people. So, in no capacity, these are there to titillate or grab eyeballs. Especially, when you show a relationship drama, this is such an important aspect of it because it is the truth. Whether people like it or not, this is how it is. Suhail (the director) was someone who really made me feel comfortable. There was really no resistance from Suhail or me to kind of get into Lavanya and Rishabh (their characters)."
However, did you know that long before Tamannaah Bhatia, Kareena Kapoor had shot her most intimate love-making scene with her hubby Saif Ali Khan in the 2009 movie 'Kurbaan'?

The Indian audience was taken aback when Karan Johar decided to include the lengthy love-making scene involving Kapoor and Khan in the film, considering the couple was not married at that time.
As per a TOI report, Karan was asked at the time, "Don't you think it is a little too much?", but he shrugged and said, "If they are okay with it, I am fine with it." Undoubtedly, the love-making scene in 'Kurbaan' had become the talk of the town in 2009.
However, not many know that Kareena Kapoor had initially declined to film any intimate scenes in Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' and Prakash Jha's 'Satyagraha.' In 'Heroine,' Kareena's character was inspired by various iconic actresses, ranging from Marilyn Monroe to Divya Bharti. Bhandarkar had initially scripted several intimate scenes for the character, but Kareena requested for them to be removed, and her wishes were granted.

The only romantic song in 'Satyagraha,' titled 'Ras Se Bhare Tore Nain Saawariya,' featuring Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor Khan, required them to showcase intimacy. The sequence called for the couple to kiss and engage in a love-making scene.
However, Kareena, despite being a dedicated artist, firmly declined to perform the scene with her co-star. It is worth noting that in Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Omkara,' Kareena had previously filmed some intimate scenes with Ajay, but that was prior to her marriage.

Kareena made a rare exception to her usual stance in R Balki's film 'Ki And Ka,' where she willingly portrayed a few kissing scenes with her co-star Arjun Kapoor.
Therefore, 'Kurbaan' was the first and last time when she shot a love-making scene with her husband. After 'Ki And Ka' released, while talking about breaking her no-kissing policy during an interview, Kareena stated that as an actress, it was her responsibility to follow the director's instructions, and emphasised that she would have approached any co-star in the same manner.
