Bollywood Adopts Intimacy Coordinators to Enhance Safety in Intimate Scenes
Bollywood is increasingly employing intimacy coordinators to ensure actor consent and safety during intimate scenes. These professionals choreograph physical interactions, using tools like modesty garments to minimize unwanted contact. This shift follows the MeToo movement's influence and the rise of streaming platforms demanding realistic portrayals of sexuality. Coordinators are typically involved before casting, allowing actors to consent to intimate content in scripts. This marks a change from Bollywood's traditional reliance on improvisation and trust in filming such scenes.
