An Indian actress has said she felt “disgusted” after her sex scene in a Netflix series went viral as a “porn clip”.

The 30-second video clip from Sacred Games shows consensual sex between a gangster and his wife, played by Rajshri Deshpande.

She said people need to be careful before sharing out-of-context material.

The series, featuring a number of prominent Bollywood stars, is Netflix’s first original drama in India.

Deshpande has been called a “porn star” on social media and some users told her that she should be ashamed of the scene.

“Why should I be ashamed? I have complete faith in my character and the importance of that scene to the story,” she told the BBC’s Divya Arya.

“My intention was right. I haven’t done any wrong,” she added.
