Rajshri defending the intimate scenes and having a dig at the audience, expressing: “It was a tender moment between a husband and wife. Sex is a beautiful thing; coming close is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, people are talking about it this way. They (the audiences) are immature and don’t understand the relevance of these (sex) scenes. I am not dancing on something derogatory. I am making love to my husband, and that too, not in a crass way.”

True to its name Charitraheen which means characterless, all the characters are shown characterless, making it almost impossible to guess what is in store next.
Lust Stories
Though it is not a web series, it was marketed as one. Four different stories directed by four different directors and produced by Karan Johar is one of India’s best erotic web series. Popular actors like Manisha Koirala, Radhika Apte, Vicky Kaushal, and many more helped create a lasting impression on our minds through the Hindi adult web series ‘Lust Stories.’
It is quite evident that there has been a surge of web series based on erotic stories or depicting bold sexual scenes because of limited censorship on the content. It has opened a path for filmmakers to produce love in its raw form. Besides any sexual content, each of these web series promises an intriguing storyline for the viewers.
It will be interesting to see if the government tries to regularise this sector as well or not. While this is not the case, everyone can enjoy these bold Indian web series.
