Thismay come as a surprise but Rakhi Sawant does have boundaries. While she iscomfortable with baring her assets on screen, she draws the line at having sexon screen. The item girl was approached by an internationalfilmmaker who wanted to make a docu drama on Kamasutra. The role required theactress to demonstrate various sexual poses mentioned in the ancient sex manual;with a male co-star.
Rakhi turned down the project. “KamaSutra is also about aesthetics. People who don't understand it like the makersof the movie I was approached for, will make it into a sleazy sex fest. Ididn’t want to be a part of it even though it is an international projectand I was getting to play the lead. It wasn’t a big banner, big directorproject, so, why take the risk?” She reasons.
She has noqualms about exposing so why shy about sex scenes? She explains, “It istrue that I expose and I do it quite often. It’s also true that I’mvery confident of my body but there are things that a girl can’t do onscreen. A line has to be drawn somewhere. I did not grow up thinking that Iwill expose my body and get credit for it. The filmmakers wanted me to do so,and I did it to get a break. So many girls do so many things to make it big, sofor me exposing was no big deal. But the project needed me to do sex poses oncamera. I felt weird. I’m an Indian girl at the end of the day andcouldn’t think of doing such a thing on camera. It was sleazy andembarrassing.”
