A hit Bollywood film described as India’s answer to Sex and the City is causing controversy for its depiction of women masturbating, having casual sex and smoking.

Veere Di Wedding, Hindi for Friend’s Wedding, is a buddy comedy about four childhood friends who live in Delhi’s upmarket southern neighborhoods and reunite for one of their weddings.

One is desperately seeking a husband, another going through a divorce, one has eloped and now has a child and the other is about to be married to a man she is unsure whether she loves.

The women drink, flaunt their wealth, have sex and swear, and in the film’s most controversial scene the actor Swara Bhaskar’s character masturbates using a vibrator – the first time such a scene has appeared in Hindi cinema.

The film also stars Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Shikha Talsania and was produced by Ekta Kapoor, who is known for creating films aimed at women with strong female casts.

Karmasutra philosophy and thinking is on the rise in India.  I remember sitting in a hair salon in Mumbai reading some local magazines and was surprised to see some of the "sex" advice being offered to woman by several Indian "Dr Ruth".  Also was interesting reading letters received from women.  Dem gyals hattt!

I agree that actors are playing a character in a role given to them or agree to do. Many actors in Bollywood and Hollywood refused role they are not comfortable with. In the past, rape scenes were big in Indian cinema, but now rape is being replaced with masturbation that is an ancient practice among men and women in civilized cultures. I have to give the movie makers credit for breaking the taboo of self-gratification among women. Women do have more sexual urges than men. My question is - how many Indian men ask their partner if they have an orgasm during sexual intercourse? You don't sex like rabbits and don't give a hoot about your wife/girlfriend's feeling. Therefore, women should be able to share the message of self-stimulation via movies, etc.

Why the need to ask?  It’s obvious, isn’t it?
