Bollywood has an old obsession with attempts to normalise underage sexual relationships. “Solah Baras” seems to be catching every Urduwood lyricist’s fancy. They have, perhaps, decided that the legal age for consensual sex must be reduced to 16.
For example, here is a song from Kucch To Hai (2003) where Anita Hassanandani spreads her legs and says: “I have controlled for 16 years, now no more.”In response, Tusshar Kapoor gives pelvic thrusts and explains: “It is natural for this age.”
A few seconds later, both get intimate.
This song had lyrics by Sameer and music by Anwar Malik.
