Divya Dutta also got intimate in bed with Kitu Gidwani for a lesbian scene in the film Monica; and has just finished shooting a hot item number in Rajasthan’s hot sands for Haat, The Weekly Bazaar.

About her lesbian act:
The film Monica is about the journey of a woman, she meets another woman (played by Kitu Gidwani) who is going through hardships as well. So both are vulnerable, and both ‘use’ each other. When I was told that I’d have to do a lesbian scene, I didn’t know what to think; but I approached it very professionally. I mentally prepared myself. I was just an actor playing a character. I know a lot of actresses had refused to do the film; Kitu is a mature actress. We discussed the scene, tried to make it easy for each other. she scared of the controversies that may arise? She says, “I’m a respectable actor who takes my work seriously. People take me seriously. Audiences are mature. And if someone has a problem with something, I really don’t care.”

About her kiss with Irfan She said:
“It was the first time I was doing an on-screen kiss. Irrfan Khan is a brilliant actor, but it was while doing this scene that I realised his level of maturity — the way he laughed in between it all, and made the emotional sequence so respecting. We play a couple who is in an emotional mess, and is trying hard to bring back ‘moments’. Ours is touted to be the longest kiss in the history of Indian cinema. I really don’t know how true that is...” its around 2-3 minutes long.

About her item number:
“I finally got to do a seeti-maar item number. I felt a little odd wearing those tiny clothes and doing those thumkas. It’s a folk song - Dhar dham chak mach gayi composed by Ali Ghani. We had an authentic Rajasthani audience. And the funniest part is that the following day a large number of locals landed up on the sets asking “Show kidhar hai?”
