From Tamannaah Bhatia To Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, A-List Actresses Now Embrace Audacious Orgasm Scenes For Artistic Experimentation

JE Entertainment Desk: A few days ago, Tamannaah Bhatia broke the internet with her bold-topless scene in Amazon Prime Video's release 'Jee Karda', where the actress broke the long 'no kissing policy' in the 18 years of her career and went all in for the web series.

Giving her best performance in the series which turned out to be a hit, netizens trolled her heavily on social media in the name of 'gaining stardom' as she nodded yes to her topless avatar. What made social media to be so naive and commented about the character of a woman when it's her profession and choice? Are Bollywood biggies saying yes to bold orgasm scenes wrong or it does provide justice to their role?

This can also be a Hollywood phenomenon where now Indian celebrities are also jumping on the bandwagon where mainstream Bollywood is accepting more nude scenes which were completely no-no for a while. However, still netizens troll women terribly on social media for more risque scenes, specifically in the case of A-List Bollywood biggies.

Kissing on the big screen is not considered taboo anymore, this should be the case with love-making scenes. However, the internet does not accept this when leading ladies start becoming more vocal about s*x scenes that bring justice and acceptance to the character of the actor. Also, when the scenes are projected aesthetically, one should not raise their eyebrows, where from one scene one can project the entire story and feel of the character. But, the Indian crowd still looks at the screen in awe when two mature adults are faced opposite each other.

This has been the case for decades now, when in the 20s and 30s, actor Devika Rani made headlines for kissing her husband-director Himanshu Rai on the big screen in 'Karma' released in 1933. Another actress Seeta Devi was seen locking lips in 'A Throw Of Dice' released in 1929, where she became the first actress to kiss on-screen. However, the scenario is bluntly awkward when we only remember the women presented in the scene and forget about the equal involvement of the men as well.

However, till the 1940s, there was a fierce display of bold scenes in Bollywood, until the establishment of the Film Advisory Board came into the limelight, where such displays of affection were considered to be nervous. The sensual flavors then made their return when Raj Kapoor reinvented romance on the big screen with his 1973 release 'Bobby', where Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia were seen sharing a closure on the big screen, but yet again it was only Dimple Kapadia, who was in the limelight for her love scene which created waves at the box office.

In the 90s, Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor's lip-locking scene in 'Raja Hindustani' normalized the depiction of just kissing scenes on the big screen. However, after some time, new faces took over the audience, and Mallika Sherawat's bold scenes in 'Khwaihsh' broke the barriers when she kissed 17 times on the big screen.

However, still, the actress was only pointed out as Himanshu Malik's onscreen presence was massively neglected until the entry of the ultimate 'serial kisser' in Bollywood happened with Emraan Hashmi, where for the very first time a male actor also received criticism for his bold scenes and roles and was heavily trolled.

Several actresses made headlines for their bold scenes including Zareen Khan and Sana Khan but soon vanished from the big screen as reputed directors did not want to cast these newcomers in their big-budget films due to their character assassination by the public, and thus Bollywood started playing very safe, with A-list actresses saying a big 'no' to the bold scenes over the year to save their seats and from not being called 'trash.'

However, scenarios changed with the entry of big Bollywood names such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Kareena Kapoor entering these bold scene situations with top league directors where these scenes done by big actresses were known to be a trend.

Madhur Bhandarkar portrayed Kareena Kapoor as an addict and proud actor in 'Heroine' where the originality behind the stardom started to reflect and be called out by the netizens in real life as well, where again the trolling action took a trend.

As Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's bold scenes with Ranbir Kapoor took flight in Karan Johar's directorial in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', the actress was heavily trolled and was called out to keep her job intact and name in the Bollywood industry after years and called this act as a 'cheap stunt', which resulted in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan saying no to a kissing scene with Rajkummar Rao in 'Fanney Khan.'

As Tamannaah Bhatia recently made the headlines, the topic of A-list actresses doing it all for their role is again being considered to maintain stardom where the naive mentality of the public should be pinpointed, but it's hard to say how long it will take for Bollywood to get to that stage where a safe place for an actress can be created which can only be done by not making this woman's angle a hullabaloo.

It's just important to note that as we are attempting to show mild progress in our society, the terminology and thought process about women coming forward and doing bold scenes should be considered as her choice, where one should not be trolled or talked about. Netizens also accuse these women of bringing disrespect to 'Indian' culture trying to dominate the image of a perfect Indian woman to be preserved.

The rigid and inherent beliefs of one should be considered as a lie where the mentality of the society comes into focus on why bold scenes in films done by actresses cannot be treated as normal as the other scenes.
