Carry on kissing


3/10/2005

KISSING scenes in Bollywood movies should be allowed said a majority of Asian News readers in an online poll.
We asked whether kissing scenes, which have caused widespread scandal in India, should be allowed on our website www.theasiannews.co.uk
This resulted in a narrow 53 per cent majority for the screen kiss.
Kissing scenes in Bollywood films are slowly becoming the norm despite the disapproval of the masses in India. Up until the late 90s, kissing, in fact all sexual activity, was always implied rather than shown.
But more recently films, including 'Khawaish', that had a record umber of 17 'snogs', caused scandal with many protesters demanding it be banned for its 'vulgarity'.
The film didn't do too well, although it didn't hinder the career of lead actress Malaika Sherawat, who went on to become a sex siren.
However such scenes are still too risky for Bollywood's best, including Shah Rukh Khan, as they feel they will damage their careers, however, other stars including Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta are breaking the mould.
They recently paired up in 'Salaam Namaste', which included two full-on kissing scenes between the stars.
