Posing Naked, Sex Scene or Kiss-What to Do? Lipstick Under My Burkha Babe Aahana Kumra is Only getting 'Bold Characters'!
To be or Not To be (Bold) is the question for Aahana Kumra!
Such is Life! And such is the way Bollywood functions! Once a villain, always a villain. Once a bold babe, always a bold babe! How then you break out of stereotype (read: Vicious circle) and carve a new identity on your own? Lipstick Under My Burkha actor Aahana Kumra is dealing with such questions these days. And guess what? She has been either asked to strip, pose naked, do a sex scene or deliver a kiss. What to do now? And this for an actor who has been trained in theaters and dabbled in all the visual media. What's happening?
"A lot of people have offered me 'bold characters'. But, I've never understood what that means. When Alankrita came to me with this role [Leela], she didn't entice me with [explicit] scenes. She merely gave me the script, and asked me to decide if I wanted to do the film or not. I was sold on the script," stated the hottie in her interview with the daily Mid-Day and she continued her, misery, for the lack of a better word, and added "I hate it when people say, 'bada bold character hai'. They are not certain if they want me to strip naked, perform a sex scene, or simply kiss on screen. Films are decided based on scripts, not on a 'bold' scene that the character must perform."
Ahanana was noticed for her role in LUMB, and now she has been in search of a role with substance. But clearly the filmmakers fail to see that the movie was based on a social issue and it resonated with the audience really well. It was not just a run of the mill adult outing! We sincerely hope that some sense will prevail in Bollywood as indeed in aspiring filmmakers and Aahana gets what she truly deserves!
