The second edition of the hit series ‘Lust Stories,’ starring Bollywood actress Kajol, is due to premiere online on Thursday, July 29. The show is about modern-day relationships as seen through the eyes of women and their sexual wants.
In a recent interview, Kajol discussed the need to normalise on-screen talk about female pleasure.
She noted that today, storytellers portray love and lust on television in the same manner that the current generation perceives it, and that it has grown significantly over the years.

During the interview, Kajol remarked that the portrayal of female pleasure on TV should be normalised in the same way that eating and drinking have been.
She claimed that there was a time when people were frank about discussing feminine joys. “It was part of our ancient texts and our education. We later closed ourselves off from it. But at the end of the day, it is a very normal part of life that we cannot do without,” she explained.
She went on to say that avoiding the matter and attempting to avoid talking about it just draws more attention to it.

Kajol stated that the present generation does not believe in the concept of “eternal love stories”, and that no one is “willing to die for anyone”.
“There is no belief in eternal love stories. If not you, there will be someone else. People believe in multiple soulmates these days,” she explained. She added that the stories which are being showcased today highlight the changing relationships and dynamics, and is based on friendships and the evolving society.
