Radhika Apte's lovemaking scenes from her latest release, 'Parched', are being marketed as porn, but she would rather not dwell on the negative buzz around the critically-acclaimed film. She terms her experience of filming the under-the-sheets action with Adil Hussain as a 'hilarious' affair, adding that the biggest challenge on set was not going nude, but finding a flesh-tint sock that covered Hussain's modesty.

"We kept cracking up all through. Your body is the last thing you are conscious about when shooting a sex scene. It was inside a cave and had we not found the sock, the shooting would have been delayed. The unit thought an erotic dance sequence was being shot," she says, giggling at the memory.

The dirty talking that preceded the scene was funnier, she says, adding, "Adil even blurted out, 'I am sorry if I get a hard-on and I am sorry if I don't'." The film's director, Linaa Yadav, along with choreographer Ashley Lobo executed the scene, Radhika says.

Why hadn't she discussed the 'fun' part of the 'controversial' scene earlier? She quips, "Those who raising eyebrows and rolling eyes would have never got the humour in this. People look at things as black and white. Unfortunately, everyone saw it from a unilinear perspective. They were either angry or sympathetic. Ask us, we have laughed throughout. It will be the most memorable scene ever for the amount we have laughed and for what we take away from it. I have been criticised and praised equally, but films are a learning process and that scene will be a milestone."
