Gehraiyaan: Siddhant talks about getting intimate with Deepika Padukone; Wondered ‘How am I going to romance her’

Gehraiyaan, Shakun Batra’s next film, has been the buzz of the town for a variety of reasons. Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Ananya Panday play key roles in the film, which deals with deep human emotions. Aside from that, Siddhant and Deepika’s on-screen chemistry in Gehraiyaan has gotten a lot of notice. Surprisingly, the Gully Boy recently spoke up on depicting closeness with Deepika and acknowledged being a little nervous about it.
During his conversation with ETimes, Siddhant said, “In my head, I was like, ‘Wow’ she’s Deepika! How am I going to romance her! She has worked with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor. Look at my competition.’ It is a romantic film and I didn’t want people to say, ‘Nahi kar paya.’ Of course, Shakun narrated the story to me and since I was eager to work with him, I said I am on. We knew there was intimacy, but we didn’t know to what extent. The screenplay didn’t particularly mention that because it wasn’t erotic poetry or something. The workshops and readings happened later”.

Siddhant went on to explain that when he learned about having an intimate director on son-site, he became a little self-conscious. “Pehli baar jab maine suna toh thoda dar gaya ke itna kya hai picture mein jo intimacy director ki zaroorat pad gayi (smiles)! But I realized that’s how Shakun likes to work. His portrayal of intimacy isn’t just physical, but emotional and nuanced. The camera doesn’t tell you that look, two people are kissing. It flows organically,” he added.
