The kiss controversy surrounding Pakistani film actress Mira in a Mahesh Bhatt film might have offended audiences back in her country as "sensibilities" differ from nation to nation, Censor Board Chairperson Sharmila Tagore said today.

The furore created by the kiss controversy involving Mira in film 'Rog' was a complex problem which needed to be seen in totally different perspective, Sharmila, who was here along with former Indian cricket legend and her husband M A K Pataudi to watch the first Indo-Pak Test, told reporters.

"You have got to look it in a different way. Every country has different interpretations of the freedom its citizens enjoy. What is true for England may not be same for India and likewise what audiences in India may find normal may sound offending to people in Pakistan," she said.

"We have to be sensitive to issues, look at them in a proper way and not just make a knee-jerk reaction," she added.

About the increasing vulgarity in Indian films, she said "unfortunately, many producers find that sex sell... The more you give it to people the more they want, they seem to think like that".

"They believe that sex and violence sells. We (our society) are going through a complex problem," she said, adding the Censor Board was doing its job to make films universally acceptable.

Sharmila said "crimes against women are increasing mainly because of sex and violence in our films". There was light at the end of the tunnel and there were many producers who were making runaway successes like "Veer Zaara" which were not dependent on sex, she added.
