Veteran Bollywood actor Annu Kapoor has ignited a new controversy within the Indian film industry, alleging that some male actors lose control during intimate scenes, creating distress and fear for their female co-stars. Kapoor made the claims on popular host Siddharth Kannan’s YouTube show, sparking widespread debate on social media and dividing opinions across Bollywood.

Kapoor, known for his outspoken nature, described scenarios where male actors fail to disengage from intimate scenes even after the director calls “cut.” He stated that some individuals “take advantage of such moments,” refusing to immediately stop despite instructions.

He recounted a particularly disturbing incident where a male actor could not restrain himself during an intimate scene. Even after the director’s cue to stop, the actor persisted, forcing his female co-star to “escape with great difficulty to save herself.” The actress was reportedly so traumatized by the experience that she did not leave her home for two days following the incident.

The explosive comments have triggered intense discussion online, with a segment of social media users supporting Kapoor’s critique of workplace safety and professionalism. However, Bollywood itself remains split, with some lauding his courage to speak out, while others view his remarks as a broad generalization that unfairly implicates many.
