Siddharth and Aditi Rao Hydari, who are married in real life and have appeared together as a couple, have now drawn attention for their presence in Lust Stories 3.
The anthology reportedly explores adult themes through dark humour, relationship dynamics and unconventional situations, with the real-life couple taking on characters involved in a deliberately provocative storyline.
The segment in question revolves around sexuality, impotence, the writing of an erotic novel and the reactions of women around the central character.
While the makers appear to have approached these themes through comedy and satire, some viewers on social media have questioned whether the humour works.
Certain scenes rely on suggestive and vulgar situations, as well as symbolic references, rather than a straightforward treatment, which has nevertheless triggered strong reactions online.
A section of netizens has particularly focused on Siddharth and Aditi appearing together in such material.
Their marriage and public image as a celebrity couple have become part of the online conversation, with some viewers questioning the choice of subject and wondering whether the provocative treatment was necessary.
At the same time, adult comedies and anthology films often deliberately push boundaries to provoke discussion, and audience reactions can vary sharply.
While some may view Lust Stories 3 as an attempt at irreverent humour, others have described portions of it as awkward, excessive or cringe-worthy.
