Sonakshi Sinha, who is currently basking in the success of the web-series Heeramandi, in a recent interview with ETimes said that she is uncomfortable with intimate scenes on screen. The actress told ETimes, “I’m on my 35th film now and I still stand there! A good actor will always get work. In my entire career, I don’t think I have lost out on anything that has had a kissing scene or intimate scene.” She added, “I’ve always made it clear to my director, the filmmaker with whom I’m working that ‘This is something I’m not comfortable doing.’ It is totally up to you. If you still want to go ahead with me, if you think as an actor, I would bring something to the table, I will do the film but find a way around that, let’s work it out or you are very free to go to someone else who is comfortable doing that. So, the option is always open and nobody is left.”
