In recent years, we've certainly seen how there is a lot of changes in the country and so is its representation in the film industry which is Bollywood. 

Gone are the times when you'd have to make an excuse to drink water whenever a kissing scene came on the tv screen when you'd be around your family. 

I mean, if you still do that, that too, is quite fair as well. 

What I'm essentially trying to say is that the times really have changed, and there is clearly more freedom given to filmmakers in terms of having more explicit scenes of sexual nature, instead of sticking the old formula of showing flowers brushing against each other.

However, these are still baby steps and people are still subject to getting offended with the scenes as they find them too vulgar for our society. 

One similar incident was that of the 2009 Kurbaan movie that had starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and now husband Saif Ali Khan.

Directed by Rensil D’Silva, the film had Kareena play the role of Avantika, a professor who falls in love with Saif's character only to later realize that he has a lot of hidden secrets locked in his life. 

The movie, which starred had actors like Om Puri, Kirron Kher, Vivek Oberoi, and Dia Mirza did well at the box office. 

However, other than its success, it also made news for its explicit *** scene between Saif and Kareena's character. 

In fact, the poster too had Kareena sporting a topless back while standing with Saif, something that did not go well with the Shiv Sena Party, who considered it 'vulgar'. 

As per reports, Shiv Sena then resorted to targeting Kareena for the bold photoshoot for the film poster with the party’s area Vibhagpramukh Jitendra Janawale even stating that they will present the actress with a Saree. 

“We will soon visit Kareena’s residence and present her a saree,” he said. 

However, when Kareena was later asked about the same she kept her cool and said that she didn't find anything vulgar with the poster. 

“I do not find anything wrong with the poster. I think it is very aesthetic.” said the actress. 

Answering about being gifted a Saree, Kareena replied, “I have not received any saree yet but I hope it will be a beautiful one.” 

Kareena will now be seen starring in Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha, which is slated to release this year.
