I never liked sex I thought there is something wrong with me.. was scared to share this with anyone But now I know that there are many like me.. 😊

Omg such kind of people exist .....I thought that I am the only one . It's so relieving 😊

I don't hate sex but loving someone with heart without any physical contact & even without seeing, I think it's the purest form of love . This type of love only seen for God & I think if you ever could get such love please go for it

I respect her more now. It's not easy to talk about such things particularly when you are a celebrity.

True love doesn't require physical intimacy. Its the love between two souls.

The best part is, she was smiling through the whole thing!! Such beauty, such grace!!

This was important. I highly appreciate you for representing the Asexual Community in such a poetic way. 🏳️‍🌈💜🖤

Damn, finally someone is literally explaining it right !!! We exist!!!

"We have to use word sex and not love to come out" This line has more depth than you think Loved this! Thank you!

Damn, she's a bomb. That's magical to see her on stage like that.

Thanks for this. Whenever I think about after marriage I used to get so scared because of sex. I felt that I'm the only girl who don't want it. I used to think I've a problem because I don't mind hugging, holding hands, taking care, loving. I also dream of a prince charming but whenever this came I didn't want to get married. Thanks for telling me it's a normal thing.

"Every time it happened I knew I wasn't really being me" Loved it!!!

No matter what her name is No matter what her name was in any other tv serials I'll always know her as Pragya 😂❤️

Seriously mam today I know that I am not a single girl who is not interested in sex even feel awkward and it affects my life badly but today i am feeling good on myself that there are so many girls like u ..who don't want to loose and break ever.👌 Thanku so much and i appreciate you and ur poem it's awesome❤❤❤

She's awesome such a daring women no care how this mediocre media will judge her. How would people look at her. God bless u girl!

No matter what her name is No matter what her name was in any other tv serials I'll always know her as Pragya 😅😅😅

Sometimes I feel youtube is Stalking me... It knows my feeling

Who notices that smile after she came out as asexual??? Coming out is such a great feeling

I hope all the asexual, demi-sexual and others who are confused about their sexuality finds love. I hope each one of us will find that one person who will love, respect and support us

I just love it how accurate she has described what an asexual feels.... you’re sooo good😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕

Yup! My gf is little bit asexual. But it's ok. We love each other n this is more important for me.

Next time find a better audience! This one ain't even listening.

I hope the asexuals find people like them, please guys don't settle for people with mainstream mentality....this is coming from a person who considers sex an important aspect....

Never thought a daily soap actress could be so intelligent, creative and so much less drama!

Who knows her as Pragya?? Like👇👇 Edit: 😍😍 1K likes

I also feel the same... initially I thought there's something wrong wid me...but now I came to know..that there are many people like me...❤️

Really appreciate your courage And it's very good for us that lots of one are accept it and show it's normal

I have seen her doing poetry for the third time and she is real good at this. .. so sweet, genuine and love her

Firstly, I would like to give a big cheer to her for having the guts to speak up about such a thing infront of a crowd and that too in such a beautiful and meaningful poem. And secondly and most importantly, it's okay if you don't want to have sex. Your other half must be ready to accept you for who and what you are. The person who accepts you for who you are is the "real one".

Finally, I'm not the only one 👀 I didn't say I don't like sex ...but I feel more pleasure when I hug, kiss or hold hands than sex🥺🥰

A simple Hug is pure heaven !

More than her words...i liked her way of expressing her words. Very few stand up comedians or entertainers of this era are as expressive, yet real at the same time, as her. 👌🏽

I never thought somebody would even talk about this. I thought there's no one out in the world like that. Thank you so much for it❤

Dayum!!! I always thought there's some problem with me. Thank you so much for this video, it really made me feel that am not the only one.

Happy to know there are people like me. I thought this kind of love and emotions didn't existed anymore. Glad I came across this video. :)

"And we're the only ones who have to use the word 'sex' and not 'love' to come out" That hit me hard...

Every sentence meant something beyond words. "Celibacy" and asexuality is different, rightly quoted" I admire you to have guts and speak about the topic that is pretty complex.

Atleast I found someone.. jo mri trh sochta h.. jisko sex se jada cheeje important h.. and all of the above cuddling is far better then sex.. walking on the long road alone with hand in hand is much better then sex..

The issue is " SEX " is missing understood for intercourse. It is not about the act it is much more than that. It is the engaging of 2 minds, body and soul. It is ab expression of who you are and how you communicate with your partner. It is an orchestra where all your senses, your being has to participate to create the music just not one organ. Unfortunately not all get that right.

I hope the people commenting "yes we exist" find their partner who is similar to them

I'm glad that I'm not the only one.. To know people like me exist is so satisfying 😊

She is so pretty and an extremely good actor.

I have always wanted asexual relationship, but i thought it was stupid but there are more people who think like me... I feel sooo happy.....

"Do not tell me who I am." I wish I could like this multiple times...

She seems very intelligent. It is hard for me to fathom how she end up in TV doing some mediocre drama.

I’m gay and I’m asexual. I find it really hard to find a partner. But good to know such people exist.

This was so beautiful❤... Asexuality is still very unclear to most.. Even to asexuals themselves... Thanks for this videos... We need more of them... An asexual romantic here 😊

I dont know why it's so difficult for people to understand that love is not sex & sex is not love

It's very conflicting, to be attracted to someone but not want them in a certain way that the whole world expects you to. I've ended two relationships only to figure this out...

Finally I found this video. I am also one of the people in comments rn and it's not like I hate s*x but I get scared whenever I think of it and it's the reason I don't want to get married bcz I don't like TOO MUCH physical contact. I'm not only one thank god. WE DO EXIST!!!

Today love is all about being physically....people r in so much hurry they even don't want to feel the magic of love ,the bonding,the way other likes...I don't know what old loves looks or like old movies showing the way but For me love is really a feeling which must b served in a plate of patience,care, understanding,bonding n all sudden that touch would create magic...sex is unplanned thing but must b happen with consent of happiness and magic...❤️

There is difference between sex and love. Being in love is always such a romantic thing in world.

Cute in every way possible! Yes, we're messy. Yes, we're broken. Yes, sex won't ever possibly give us the pleasure that we get in those intense eye contacts, the hand holding, the soft innocent kisses and most of all.. the words. Yes, we exist.

I guess this is so me...prioritise others things above sex

I am a guy and I am also one of those people. It's getting Harder day by day as Men can't be asexual and i haven't shared this with anyone and haven't met any guy asexual as well to share my burden. Sad thing is we are very less in number even less than homosexuals hope one day someone will understand how we feel.

Yessss Sex is not everything in this world and all are not comfortable too there are many other ways to enjoy and spent our lives ..world is changing ..

Awe she's so cute and adorable 💖☺️ Great speech btw 🔥 Love ya India 🙏

Hats off to her for speaking about asexuality back when most people would just shun you out. People who don't understand the concept still do.

She is so cute.. Simply adorable.. Beauty with brains.. And beautiful soul

Well,i am the one who always scared thinking about sex it's seems so awful to me but thank god in the era of "aaj mai karke aaya" the people who "just Netflix and cuddle exists...💚

U r not incomplete u just don't need anyone to complete you...

Thank God! It gives me loads of relieve.... I thought I'm the only one and I'm broken.. I'm feeling so content now.. It reduced my insecurities 😊

Hehehe I taught m d only one who runs away form d marriage name and sex 😂😂 well I found that ppl DO exist thank God m not alone finally

Honestly I thought such kind of people doesn't exist 😶 this video proves me wrong 😊 It means I'm not the only one Thank you ❤

I had no idea she was such a good poet, wow !

I don't know how to tell my parents that I am asexual, who are forcing me to get married

I can feel this ....I'm demisexual it takes alot of guts to accept this thing but yess I'm proud of myself, my feelings and my sexuality❤

This is such a relief. I thought there was some problem with me. Thankfully I am relieved of this guilt now! Big hug!

She awllways cried in that serial... Good to see her smile

Who is observing the expressions of the audience behind her

Imagine someone who enjoys sex falls in love with a asexual person. Such a sad scenario.

Damn she’s brilliant how did she memorize this my god 😱

Everytime I thought what I was I never could word it out. Love without sex is such a hard mess but honestly we exist. Hopeless romantic not affiliated to body attachments. Necessity or not love is needed. I hope people I am with , person I adore just understands it without me having to explain phrases. No matter what people are perfect , different yet perfect. Thanks smriti. You have no idea how much praiseworthy you are. It was such food, unspoken and the best.

I feel, I'm also a genophobic. & I'm not ashamed of it. On contrary I'm happy to know ppl like me do exist too & it's soo relieving.

I m asexual girl. I want anyone in my life who is not interested in sex.

Ufff....thank God, someone said it aloud....holding hands and kisses are also important....

She sounds like a good author, poet, ohh my gosh such a genius girl I used to see her in Kundli Bhagya.. highly impressed of her beautiful personality along with the beautiful face..

The worst part is when you live in a culture where a woman is just a ''bachy paida krny ki machine'' , where the biggest service a woman can do t her husband and her family is producing babies for him. coming from a Pakistani A-sexual, i am 19 and i am afraid of what's ahead, only asexuals wóuld relate to how terrifying it is.

She is really eloquent after Tisca Chopra's Kommune talks I like the way Sristi speaks

Omg omg omg what an eye opener this girl was hatts offf , I was wondering what’s wrong with me when every guy talks abt sex I feel annoy now I can also sing “ I am Asexual “ Thx for this bravery 🔥

People might find us weird but who cares ? We are happy in the way we are ... :)

So lovely elaborated.. But being in an Indian society.. It's tough for people to tell others that they are asexual coz not everyone understands and secondly finding a partner who is asexual as well... It's really tough..being an asexual i was able to understand Sriti's word so well...

This is totally me🙂💞felt relived, lots of love dear.. No one understands and you can't explain yourself,there exists the problem..

I do love hugs and kisses but sex. I don't know why that's something I never really wanted. Untill now I did not even know being asexual was a thing..

Did anyone notice that are sentences are rhyming at end wow her vocab is great

Now I feel I'm not the only one in the world... Sex is not everything

Respect for sriti increased infinite times ❤️

I thought I was the only one who feels that.... totally relatable

Oh man it's such a relief to hear this all, finally I feel normal after landing on to this video. Bravo girl for putting this into words for people like us. Hats off

They told me I haven't found The right one yet Well honestly as of yet I had found a right few I am going to share those stories Then you will find Some things old and some things new Lets go back to the start The very first time i fell in love Things were said and rules were laid Holding hand and flirting was alright Anything beyond that would not be okay So the problem was that I went beyond and kissed The very first time i was kissed And i was kissed back It was a discovery It was the closest magic that I'd ever felt So the best kisser i was going to be. I learned new meanings of forever I learned to work for again and better. But then i couldn't catch-up in the rhythm or in the rhyme. As a cosmic alarm went off And everybody was ready for their first time I must have missed the alarm Because i am a late sleeper Because i wasnt ready or eager. But when they spoke of it i joined in with equal vigour. I kept falling in love sometimes better other times worst. But "it" was never on my mind And that seemed to be my curse. I kept avoiding it ,eventually i did it But it didn't seem meant to be. Every time it happened i know it wasn't really being me. So i told my friends and a problem with me was diagnosed A lot was said, a lot was done Books were read, new boys were met But problem remains solved by none. Finally I was relieved when they wrote chants of no means no means no means no. But when i said no and i meant no, They said "you have got to a try little more". "Come on, try a bit." "How could you not ?" "Why would you not ?" "No, you do ." "You don't know how." "I will teach you " " I will show you " "Oh my god ! You never felt wow ?" But i had felt wow. I had felt wow in hugs and kisses. I had felt wow every time fingers had run through my tresses. But beyond a point when it went I was left all alone. So i learned to lie in words and in moans. I learned to lie because i didn't want to hurt. I didn't want to loose and i was in love. Who was i to choose ? Who was i to choose me who had none alike? Who was i to choose me who had lost love's every strike? And this was the time when everybody was talking about sex, learning and teaching consent. And i had no one except my discontent. And this is not bashing my lovers They were great . This is not bashing my lovers or my firends. They were taking the care of me, Keeping the bargain at their end. This is not bashing sex either. This is not to prove me greater. I do not celebrate celibacy. I am not a sex hater. And sex haters, you think just the favourite child is the asexual kind? Go out with the boys or with the girls. Your parents never really mind. True, but for that to happen You have to come out. And we're the only ones Who have to use word sex and not love to come out. You see the irony there , I am sure without a doubt. But what must be done must be done. I found a way to make this little easy. And as i go ahead,I know I might sound cheesy. They say you dont stutter when you are singing a song. And as I go ahead I hope you will sing along. ~ I am asexual I am not the only one I am evry thing i need You better recognise me now I am asexual~ There is another song that has phrase, "Cardboard cutout sex appeal" And I always misheard It was carpal tunnel sex appeal. Because for me it was about holding hands, Holding hands to the point of chronic muscle ache. I didn't know , picking my way to love was such a terrible mistake. I have to paraphrase song to tell you I fell all of it, The butterflies and the bees in my very stomach's pit. And if I ask you, why do you need or want sex ? You can't put it in words. I know. And that is a ineffable reason, Thats how i know ,that i dont want sex for sure. And i am not incomplete or in any way less. I am complete but confused. Isn't that such a beautiful mess? And i am broken, imperfect. And that needs mending of a different kind. Dont tell me who i am. Do not try to change my mind. Last but not the least, In LGBTQIA An asexual and an Ally Each and every single way. ~ I am asexual I am not the only one I am evry thing i need You better recognise me now I am asexual~ _Sriti_Jha

Oh my god she is happy and smiling and i am falling for her again.

Thank God! I feel I was only the one who doesn't like sex. Anyways Sex isn't a key of love but all trust and faith is a symbol of true and pure love☺️

It's the love without lust I must say...... that's what soul love is ol about..... The beauty of real love.....Hats off to you Buddy

Why is she rhyming the lines it sounds like a poem though. But what she is saying is meaningful oh!!! Like I relate so much to it

Yes .. I feel it's me .. who feel love in eyes , in holding hands, in kissing a person on his forehead . But I can't go beyond

I can't tell you how happy I feel right now that I'm not alone. I've always been confused why I don't "feel it". Sometimes I thought something was wrong with me or sometimes, something was wrong with them. But now I know nothing is wrong with anyone. This is just the way I'm born. I adore love without needing the body to show it.

I didn't know this was real thing.. I never liked sex.. I really don't. Gross to the level I want to disappear.. Hugging is okay.. More than that.. Naaah

I thought it's only me 🙄🙄🙄🙄 thank god I watched this video ..m so relieved today

The variations in emotion when one watches this ♥️is inexplicable
