Everyone at a certain age has seen it, if I say I have not seen it then I will be lying. In the country where Kamasutra has been written, in the country where Khajuraho temples are there, you are shy of asking me this.

Vishal Bhardwaj further added, 'Actually, it is a matter of perspective. If we look at the Khajuraho temple, why would someone have built it? Look at his spirituality, what he says on the spiritual level is that 'go within', all these walls and lust are external, ultimately you have to go within.
