Siddhant panicked before shooting intimate scenes with Deepika
Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi starrer 'Gehraiyaaan' received a lot of praise after its release. The film was released in 2022. However, the intimate scene of Deepika-Siddhanta in the movie was talk of the town.
Directed by Shakun Batra, 'Gehraiyaaan' explored complex themes of relationships, infidelity, and ambition. However, shooting for the film was not an easy journey for Siddhant in particular.
In a recent interview, Siddhant recalled panicking while shooting an intimate scene with Deepika. The situation became so strained for him that both his father and producer Karan Johar had to intervene. In an interview with Filmfare, Siddhant recalled, ''I remember my dad spoke to me. He was like, 'Listen, in India, 99% of the people will do anything to have this opportunity. They won't even think about it for a second. What are you even thinking? Please be a man, be professional, this is your job'.''
"I was like, 'I don't know what to do'. He said, 'It doesn't matter. You are the one who will define things. Go do it if you want to be a good actor. You will never be anything special unless you don't redefine things','' he added. Siddhant's father then reminded the actor of the big opportunity that he'd been given. ''Siddhant, it's Dharma, it's Deepika Padukone, it's Shakun Batra, and you have got to do this,'' his father said.
The actor went on to explain that his shy personality was a roadblock for him. ''I have never made the first move ever in my life,'' he said. It was at this point that Karan Johar had to step in and knock some sense into him. Siddhant shared, ''Karan called me, and he was like, 'What's the problem?' And I told him everything. He was like, 'Dude, you are a professional, and just behave like one. This is your job'.''
