What does it mean to feel safe on set?🎬
In this episode of The Good Girls Show, Pari sits down with Aastha, India’s first intimacy coordinator, for a much-needed conversation on consent, power dynamics and making sets safer 🤝
They unpack how the role of an intimacy coordinator is changing the film industry from within specially after the #MeToo movement, what it was like to walk onto her first set in this role and how miscommunication and silence often hide in plain sight on set. Aastha shares what it takes to ensure actors feel protected while filming intimate scenes, and why it’s not just about sex, but safety, equity and trust.
From red flags vs green flags in intimacy, Bollywood, to growing up in a home where intimacy wasn’t shamed, this one’s layered, eye-opening, and long overdue.🫂
