Somy Ali shared her views on Raj Kundra’s arrest for his alleged involvement in a pornography-related case. The actress said that she doesn’t judge anyone who chooses porn as their profession and has nothing against them unless anyone is being sexually trafficked. She was surprised to see the reactions on this case of people from a country where Kamasutra originated.
According to Hindustan Times, Somy said, “The mere taboo of talking about sex or porn ignites more curiosity. Personally, I don’t judge those who choose porn as their profession as long as no one is hurt or sexually trafficked. It is pivotal that there shouldn’t be any sort of coercion. Otherwise, what anyone chooses to do sexually is none of my or anyone’s business. We have no right to judge anyone. I have nothing against people who engage in pornography or those who make it their profession.”
Further, emphasizing the importance of sex education, she said, “I deem this to be a cinematic and artistic progression. Intimate love has no meaning without intimacy, hence, kissing or depicting scenes of passion should and must be a norm. It’s a step forward and it’s about time that in 2021 we are able to create such art and be more realistic when it comes to the normalcy of humans being sexual creatures. The more nonchalant our attitude is towards something; the less people will have to hide from wanting to admit to what they like or dislike such as watching porn. I must be emphatic that while I don’t judge anyone, it is absolutely unacceptable to me if the artist is being harmed in any pornographic ventures. Other than that I’ve absolutely nothing against porn.”
Businessman Raj Kundra was arrested on July 19 and has now been sent to 14 days of judicial custody. His lawyer Subhash Jadhav has applied for bail and the next hearing will be on July 29.
