"We have to be somewhat responsible. As makers there has to be a limit in which one operates. If we show content just to add the shock value people will start censoring us. So we need to be responsible. With that said, the stories need to be told realistically".
Akshay Oberoi, Actor

Swara Bhaskar speaks about her character in Flesh, wherein she plays ACP Radha Nautiyal.

"As an actor I play the character according to what the writer writes and the director's vision. And I have to find motivations and justifications for the characters' emotionality within the script. I don't have to agree with it".
Swara Bhasker, Actor
