Mumbai, October 1, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actress Rasika Dugal has emphasised the need to create safe spaces where people can openly discuss sexuality, desire and related concerns, stressing that access to accurate information is essential to prevent misinformation.
Speaking at the trailer launch of her upcoming film Little Thomas, the Mirzapur actress said conversations around sexuality are often considered uncomfortable, but people should have access to a trusted person or source where they can seek information without hesitation.
“I think it’s very, very important and very necessary that there is a place that you can get information on sex, on sexuality, on your desires, on everything. That there should be a place or a person with whom you can go and talk about these things. So that you don’t fall from misinformation and also so that you don’t have to ask this question to anyone,” Rasika said.
She highlighted the importance of receiving reliable information from a trusted adult, acknowledging that such discussions remain difficult for many people. However, she said these subjects should not be treated as taboo.
“I think it’s very important to have that access to information from an adult in your life, and such conversations are unfortunately uncomfortable and unfortunately difficult for many people but it shouldn’t be so,” she added.
Rasika called for a broader change in social attitudes, saying, “I think there’s really a need to normalize conversations around desire and sexuality.”
Directed by Kaushal Oza, Little Thomas also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Hridansh Parekh in pivotal roles. Backed by Anurag Kashyap, the children’s film is scheduled to release in theatres on October 23.
Describing the film, Gulshan said it tells the heartwarming story of a simple family from Goa. He also spoke about his experience working with Oza and sharing screen space with Rasika, calling it a memorable experience.
