New Delhi: The director of the notorious 1992 film 'Basic Instinct' Paul Verhoeven recently denied claims of tricking the lead actress in the film Sharon Stone into performing frontal nudity for the film in a recent interview.  The director explained that Stone was aware of the fact that her vagina would be visible on-screen as her character was based on a story of a woman that he knew when he was a student. She would cross her legs without panties regularly at parties, he claimed.  He told Variety, "My memory is radically different from Sharon’s memory. That does not stand in the way and has nothing to do with the wonderful way that she portrayed Catherine Tramell. She is absolutely phenomenal. We still have a pleasant relationship and exchange text messages. But her version is impossible. She knew exactly what we were doing. I told her it was based on a story of a woman that I knew when I was a student who did the crossing of her legs without panties regularly at parties. When my friend told her we could see her vagina, she said, “Of course, that’s why I do it.” Then Sharon and I decided to do a similar sequence."
