However, this culture becomes common day by day but still the uneasiness exists. On this, Tamannaah said, “I have seen lot of men being uncomfortable or being nervous with intimate scenes. It’s like understanding that actors are also human being, it’s not about male or female. Sometimes men are a more shy and they’re a more worried about how the woman is going to feel.”

The host added that in past years, media was invited while the team shoot such type of scene. Bhumi looked amazed and said, “That is so exploitative.”  Rakul claimed that the whole process is mechanical and she counted seconds while shooting intimate scene.
