Actor Neena Gupta, who will next be seen playing the role of a grandmother in R. Balki’s short in ‘Lust Stories 2’, has opened up about her character and how she believes her role has started a conversation around sex.
In an interview with Indian Express, Neena Gupta was asked why she happily chose to play the role of ‘dadi ma’ in ‘Lust Stories 2’. She replied, ‘Because if it was not dadi maa saying what I am saying then it would not have any impact. That is why it was important for a dadi maa to say these things which we have said in the film.’
She added that starting a conversation around sex is of the utmost importance for youngsters.
Sharing her own experience, she revealed that she had little to no knowledge about sex till she was in college and she believed that kissing can get women pregnant.
‘In the earlier times, the girl was given some information before she got married. They were told what would happen on the first night, so that she isn’t scared or the guy doesn’t run away.
However, even then, women were told it was their job to deliver children and how they need to fulfil their ‘duty’ when their husband asks for sex,’ said Neena Gupta.
She further said that this happens even today and that things haven’t really changed a lot. She believes that ‘Lust Stories 2’ is important, and that her role has started the conversation in a big way.
‘Lust Stories 2’ will premiere on Netflix on June 29, 2023.
