Let's talk about sex, Shahid Kapur



Shahid Kapur has developed a social conscience as he has a song in Kaminey with a cautionary note about AIDS.

Without sounding preachy, the song filmed in the red light district promotes healthy and frequent use of the condom. The direct reference is timely in wake of the AIDS epidemic that continues to spread at an alarming rate in India.

The entire song sequence talks about the importance of using condoms, and playing it safe. Our source said, “Sukhwinder Singh lent his voice to this song and the lyrics go: Bhawra aaya aayaa re, gun gun karta aayaa re ... Yeh ishq nahih aasan, AIDS ka khatra hai ... pathwar pehen kar jaana- yeh aag ka dariya hai.

Shahid’s character in Kaminey is involved in social service. So he walks into a red light area with a red ribbon around his neck and that’s when he starts singing the song. The promos of the song will be aired in August.”

The lyrics of this song have been written by Vishal Bharadwaj, who is also the producer, director and music composer of the film.
