Adil Hussain finds the online leak 'bizarre', has the best response to the situation..
Radhika Apte and Adil Hussain's Parched received a thundering applause at the recently concluded Melbourne Film Festival. The film won many laurels but before it could be released in India, a sex scene featuring Radhika and Adil made its way to the Internet.
Surprisingly, it was not the whole film that was leaked online this time. It was just the lovemaking scene which showed Radhika in the nude that was released online. The video went viral and caught on like wild fire within minutes of the leak.
When asked about the online leak, Adil told an online portal, "I learnt about it yesterday from Google alert and it felt bizarre in the beginning. In fact, it felt very weird. It shows how sexually obsessed a lot of people in our society are. You leak only the sex scene and no other beautiful scenes from the film. It only shows that we are extremely obsessed about sex and yet we don’t want to talk about it. We shun it, shove it under the carpet and don’t want to show it to people."
He also slammed all the reports that called it 'Radhika Apte's sex scene', throwing light on the extremely patriarchal mindset that exists in the society today. "The most interesting aspect is that the leaked videos is titled as Radhika Apte sex scene and not as Adil Hussain sex scene. That’s because a man doing it is just another matter whereas when a woman does it, it does matter. It is only then when it becomes a sex scene. It also shows the patriarchal society that we live in. In the West, such scenes are normally shown in their films," he told IndianExpress.com.
Although the culprit behind the crime is yet to be nabbed by the police, Adil feels it has to be 'a man and it must be an Indian man'.
