Om Puri: Actors performing sex with cloths is absurdity!
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,April 15 2015]
Veteran actor Om Puri has created a sensation by mocking at Indian filmmaker's absurdity to shoot actors performing sex with cloths on!
It seems Puri was let down watching sex siren Sunny Leone's movie EK PAHELI LEELA as he was expecting the screen to blaze with some porn' stuff but when he found Sunny Leone all dressed up and that too in love making scenes he was left disappointment.
Lambasting the lovemaking scenes between Rajneish Duggal and Sunny Leone in the movie, Om Puri retorted, "It is absurd to shoot the couple indulged in intense love making scenes with cloths on!"
"I fail to understand, how on earth can a couple perform sex with cloths on? Nowhere in the world do you watch movies portraying love making scenes with the actors wearing cloths. It is only in Indian cinema do we find such nonsense," Puri ridiculed Indian filmmaker's unaesthetic love making scenes on screen.
Citing example of his earlier movies like Basu Bhattacharya's ASTHA where he performed a steamy seductive scene with Rekha and one with actress Smita Patil in Govind Nihalani's AAKROSH, he said, "In both the films Rekha and Smita are shown wearing sarees. Had they been nude the scenes could have be more aesthetically shoot, the kind depicted in Hollywood movies but the problem is that our actors are too conscious of their body to make love scenes look convincing."
It may be noted Om Puri even did a steamy sex scene with Malika Sherawat in DIRTY POLITICS. Regarding this scene too Puri was not satisfied!
He argued, "If our filmmakers have inhibition in depicting the actors' nude while performing lovemaking scenes then they should just shoot their faces and get the desired effect as was done in the olden films."
What Om Puri is saying may be true for the European countries where sex is not taboo but in India such scenes are inconceivable on screen because we still abide by our cultural ethics and are rooted to the adage "No Sex Please, We are Indians!
