Priya Bapat is calling out uncomfortable behaviour on set. The actress has opened up about a moment where her co-star "kept kissing" her during a scene, leaving her unsure how to respond.
"I didn't know how to deal with this," Bapat revealed in recent comments about the uncomfortable dynamic that unfolded on camera.
The actress said the issue wasn't about consent to the kiss itself, but about the lack of professionalism and justification. "It's not about whether I want to kiss or not. But it's just about... how do you justify it?" she explained.
The confession is part of a broader conversation in the Indian film industry about on-set boundaries and actor safety. Bapat's comments highlight grey areas that still exist in filmmaking, where physical intimacy can blur the line between scripted and uncomfortable.
Her remarks align with growing calls for clearer protocols around intimate scenes in Bollywood and beyond. Without proper communication and consent frameworks, scenes written into a script can cross into territory that leaves performers feeling violated or unsupported.
Bapat's comments point to a practical problem: actors should not have to navigate unwanted advances mid-scene. Production teams and co-stars need to establish boundaries beforehand.
