Bollywood Hot Kisses
Today, Bollywood's on-screen kisses, though almost always hyped by the media, seem natural and effortless. The steamier scenes have until now, been left to B-grade sleaze film actors, while superstars have always indulged in love-making scenes that are shot neck-up, so as not to hurt the sentiments the Indian middle class family audience.

Next, it was Neil Nitin Mukesh's turn, who dropped his pants for filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar's Jail. With both, director and actor claiming that the scene was beautifully shot, they are cognizant of the fact that it will shock the audience.
It's not just established actors who are baring all. Debutant Maradona Rebello has gone nude in his first film, Pankh starring one of Bollywood's hottest stars, Bipasha Basu.

So, I dove in convinced, my apprehensions kept at bay, my gluteus maximus on display," he grinned.
He added that the director did everything to make him feel comfortable. "When I finally shot the nude scene with Lilette Dubey, who plays my mother, the crew was kept to a minimum. I had prepped myself for months for this one shot that eventually lasted barely a few minutes and was done in a single take. It was no big deal."
