How Lust Stories Highlighted Taboo Topics!

ORGASM, there I said it! What is so taboo about it? Wait, is it that we aren’t allowed to talk about women orgasm or that it isn’t so important and hence it’s fading. What is so wrong if a woman wants to pleasure herself? Are only men allowed to be happy and their satisfaction is of utmost importance? Women-centric four short stories that makeup ‘Lust Stories‘, talk about subjects people usually avoid. What women are neglected and how they need to accept whatever that’s served on the plate.

Anurag Kashyap showed us how a woman becomes obsessive and possessive if she’s void of love or lonely. She enters into this clandestine affair with her eyes open, speaking of Amrita Pritam and Draupadi, and soon finds herself consumed by it, stalking the young man and wanting more, more, more. We are indeed watching a woman unravel, but we are also watching a woman lose control to possessiveness, reduced to behaving the way a man would.

Zoya Akhtar’s story may just be love without words. A sexual relationship between a bachelor and a maid who works for him. Until his parents arrive and find him a girl to marry. It is a minimal, beautiful film with Akhtar gradually and lovingly fetishising the very act of cleaning a house even as the maid begins to grow wistful. She enjoys screwing the master but it cannot lead anywhere. She knows she has no right to expect more, something she is reminded when she sees a fellow maid thrilled with discarded finery, and yet her hands tremble. For she can only dream but can never achieve it!

Banerjee showed us where actually a woman stands in most marriages, with her husband and her children. How she can be made so guilty for finding happiness in her life. For a woman to ask for a divorce is a sin. And how complicated things become, it is not okay to cheat on your spouse, but what if you are dead being with that person? You can’t leave your partner either, so what choice is she left with?

Karan Johar left us all with laughs but created a huge AF impact on many mindsets as well! To not be guilty to love yourself, and be proud of it. Being a woman, giving birth to children isn’t your only happiness. A shy young bride, having considered her entire life right upto the wedding-night as foreplay, quickly tires of the five-second intercourse her husband loves so much. Love is something that is still a taboo in our culture. Sadly, we still don’t have that many love marriages, we are not allowed to date, and our parents still decide who you are going to spend your life with.

From being possessive, not being able to dream big and make amends with your life, from having to be in a marriage that sucks the life out of you to be ashamed of loving yourself, women go through these phases and nobody wants to talk about it! Sex, marriage, divorce, affair, orgasm and lust, something that shouldn’t be taboo anymore and people need to speak up about it.

From Met Gala To A Bridal Shower: Priyanka And Nick’s Timeline

Priyanka Chopra had her bridal shower yesterday at Tiffany’s Blue Box Café and she looked absolutely stunning. I guess the next time we see her in a white gown, she’ll be walking down the aisle to get married to Nick Jonas!

While their wedding is still months away, Priyanka looked nothing short of angelic in this gorgeous white gown at her bridal shower at Tiffany’s Blue Box Cafe in New York City on Oct. 28. The strapless, feathery outfit with a cinched waist was luxuriously accessorized with a diamond necklace that seemed to be straight out of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Now, let’s have a proper recap of their love story and the full timeline of the adorable couple’s relationship as we head towards their wedding date with anticipation.

May, 2017: Met Gala

Jonas and Chopra made their first public appearance together at the 2017 Met Gala — before they were officially a couple. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Chopra said that she and Jonas were both wearing Ralph Lauren to the Met Gala, so they decided to attend the event together. She described the night as “fun,” but didn’t reveal much of anything else.

May, 2018: Memorial Day Weekend

Most people learned of Jonas and Chopra’s (alleged) relationship almost a full year after their first public appearance together. The couple was spotted attending a Dodgers game together in LA over Memorial Day weekend, and also cozied up to one another under a blanket on a boat, which is generally understood to be standard couple behavior.

June, 2018: Cousin’s Wedding

On June 9, Jonas and Chopra were spotted together in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for Jonas’ cousin’s wedding. This indicates that Chopra met at least two out of the three other Jonas brothers (Kevin and the “Bonus Jonas,” Franklin), both of whom also seemed to be at the wedding.

July, 2018: Engagement

In late July, People reported that Chopra and Jonas were engaged. A source told the publication that Jonas rented out Tiffany’s store in New York City to select the engagement ring. “[Jonas’] friends and family have never seen him like this, and they’re all really excited for him. He’s definitely very serious about her,” a source told People.

August, 2018: Parents

Jonas and his parents, Denise and Kevin Jonas Sr., flew to India to meet Chopra’s family. “It’s a tradition to go and meet the family before the wedding,” the source exclusively told Us of their visit. “Priyanka wants an Indian wedding. He’s super supportive of her and he’s thrilled.”

August, 2018: Confirmation on their Engagement

After keeping fans on their toes for months, Chopra and Jonas confirmed their engagement in separate, but similar Instagram posts. “Taken.. With all my heart and soul,” Chopra wrote as a caption. Jonas shared the same photo, with the caption “Future Mrs. Jonas. My heart. My love.” Later on, he also shared a series of photos documenting their engagement celebration in India.

September, 2018: Red Carpet

The couple walked the red carpet together for the first time since getting engaged. Chopra and Jonas attended the Ralph Lauren fashion show during New York Fashion Week — and looked very loved-up on the red carpet.

According to Us Weekly, the couple will be tying the knot in India this December. “They really want to blend wedding traditions from both of their cultures, that are important to them,” a source said. “Priyanka is having a really good time planning the wedding because it’s a mix of Indian and American styles and customs, which she knows so much about. Nick and Priyanka can’t wait to get married. They have amazing chemistry and can’t wait to have kids. They are going to wait till after the wedding to start trying. But it’s definitely on the agenda.“

Who else can’t wait to see all the beautiful pictures of their wedding?!
