She also talked about how she had a no-kiss policy in her contract and how she broke it in Lust Stories 2. "This is a really touchy subject. For 17 years, I had it in my contract that I won't kiss onscreen or have intimacy in my movies. Because I catered to a very family audience. The kind of cinema I have acted in had no intimate scenes like they have now.  But, I feel it's regressive to not express lust. It is a basic human need," the Baahubali actress said.
