Nudity and sex scenes -- often left to trust and improvisation on Indian film sets -- are now being meticulously choreographed by intimacy coordinators tasked with protecting actors and ensuring consent. Once unheard in Bollywood, such coordinators are becoming an increasingly familiar presence as filmmakers embrace stricter standards after the 2017 #MeToo movement put a spotlight on sexual exploitation in entertainment industries around the world.
