Anupria Goenka Gets Real About Shooting Romantic Scenes
Anupria Goenka, known for her compelling performances in projects like Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, Asur, and Aashram, opens up about a rarely discussed aspect of her craft. In a recent candid conversation, she sheds light on the emotional effort involved in performing intimate and romantic scenes, offering a glimpse into the nuances of her acting process.
In an interview with Mirror, Anupria Goenka shares her insights on working with co-stars in intimate scenes, saying, 'It is very important that your co-star and you are on the same page, along with the director. I feel that often male actors are the ones who get a little conscious, and their heroines have to do double the work."
Furthermore, Anupria elaborates on the dynamics of on-screen romance, saying, 'When you're romancing for the camera, your male co-star often becomes conscious and fears being judged and misunderstood. It's extremely important to have a beautiful chemistry with them, and genuine on-screen chemistry stems from trust and comfort. When that happens, the audience can feel it."
The 38-year-old actress has always been vocal about her opinions. In a previous interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anupria Goenka revealed her audition journey for Salman Khan's blockbuster film Sultan, a role that ultimately went to Anushka Sharma.
Anupria shared her experience, saying, 'Maine Sultan ke liye audition kiya tha, main part. Tab voh log naye logo ko dhoond rahe the. Mere kuch 11-12 test hue the… pehle ek audition hua tha, phir doosra audition hua, phir there was a music video test, phir there was a dance test with Vaibhavi (Merchant), and then there were readings with Ali (Abbas Zafar)."
She added, 'That one-month process was beautiful. Thankfully mere liye voh poora process ek mahine ka tha. Agar voh 6-7 mahine ya ek saal chalta toh insaan anxiety main hi reh jaata na… Jab tak main Ali se nahi mili, mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki Sultan ki baat ho rahi hai because YRF main they don't give you the actual script. They give you some other script and they make you audition on that… It was only when I met Ali and he kept referring to 'Mr Khan', then I realised ki this is for Sultan and the main part."
Sultan went on to become a massive hit at the box office, with Anushka Sharma's portrayal of a feisty wrestler earning widespread acclaim.

Esha Gupta has left fans gasping for breath. The sultry diva slipped into a racy white gown featuring audacious cutouts and shared a video that's now taking the internet by storm. With her signature confidence and commanding presence, Esha turned up the heat on Instagram and had hearts racing within seconds. In the clip, Esha strikes seductive poses with effortless grace. The gown, sculpted to perfection, hugs her curves in all the right places. The plunging neckline and sharply structured cutouts at the torso showcased her toned body.

With her soft waves curled into a vintage-inspired bob, and bronzed glam makeup, Esha oozes old-Hollywood sex appeal. She maintains a slow, confident gaze toward the camera and, at times, lowers her eyelids in sultry shyness. Fans flooded the comments section with fire and heart emojis, with many calling her the 'queen of hotness." Some even claimed this is her 'best look yet." The sizzling outfit choice comes not long after Esha addressed the long-standing 'sex symbol" label attached to her in the industry.

No tours or Insta reels: YRF goes old-school way with ‘no promotions' for Aneet Padda-Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara, a good move?
We are living in the time of 'jo dikhta hai wahi bikta hai'. This applies to Bollywood too. Now, can you imagine that in this fast-paced, Insta-addicted generation, two totally new actors and their passion project survive without any promotions? Well, looks like YRF is going the old-school way for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as they gear up for the release of their debut film, Saiyaara. Although the trailer looks very promising, the songs have already touched hearts. But is that enough to pull people towards the theaters? The '90s strategy of not 'over-exposing films' Before the advent of social media trends and advanced marketing strategies in Bollywood, film promotion wasn't a primary concern for filmmakers and producers. Actors would dedicate themselves to their craft, give their 100% and conduct a few interviews prior to a film's release. Despite the lack of aggressive promotion, audiences would still flock to theaters to watch the film. In the 1990s, actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, Sonali Bendre, Salman Khan, or Aamir Khan didn't travel to different cities, visit malls, or perform for fans to promote their films. Yet, their movies achieved cult classic status. We don't need to look that far back. Think about Hrithik Roshan's debut. How much did you really see or hear about him before Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai premiered? It's fair to say we heard more about the film when it was about to be re-released than when it first hit theaters. Despite that, he still became an overnight sensation and the "Greek God" without any social media fanfare. Filmmakers and Producers go overboard with promotions these days Today, an actor's role extends far beyond the film's wrap, which is merely half the task. The subsequent phase, a true nightmare for many, involves a relentless schedule: continuous travel, city tours, diverse promotional strategies, non-stop interviews, and countless other demands. A prime example is Aamir Khan's pre-release promotions for Sitaare Zameen Par, where he was seen making vada pao for fans on the streets. Isn't that a bit excessive? Well, thankfully, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are not made to go through so much. YRF has not arranged any interviews, city tours, Insta reels, influencer interactions, as they want to keep the curiosity of the audiences alive. The makers want everyone to see the two debutants directly on the big screen, without over-exposing them on social media. Why we think YRF's move will work YRF's old-school masterstroke could be a good move because people love mystery. This strategy might prove to be a win-win for the film and the actors, as audiences, away from social media over-exposure, may be enticed to buy tickets to discover what's in store for Aneet and Ahaan. Don't you agree? Saiyaaara marks the first collaboration between acclaimed director Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films. It is all set to hit the theaters on July 18, 2025.

This Is The Most Anticipated Film Of 2025 And It's Not Rajnikanth's 'Coolie' Or Hrithik's 'War 2'
Last Updated: This film, with female leading roles, has topped IMDb's list of most anticipated Indian films with 20.8% votes, surpassing Rajinikanth's Coolie and Hrithik Roshan's War 2 With half the year gone, 2025 has already seen some fierce cinematic competition brewing, and not just at the box office. On IMDb's list of most anticipated Indian films of the year, it's not a Rajinikanth or Hrithik Roshan starrer that leads the charge, but an underdog titled Junior, which has unexpectedly surged ahead to claim the top spot. Despite the massive buzz around War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, and Rajinikanth's high-octane Tamil actioner Coolie, Junior has emerged as the film audiences are most eager to watch, according to IMDb's trending data. Directed by Radhakrishna Reddy, Junior stars Kiriti Reddy, Sreeleela, and Genelia D'Souza in lead roles. What's particularly drawing attention is the casting of Genelia, who is playing a central role in the film despite being a mother of three, a rare choice in an industry where actresses often face limiting age stereotypes. Sreeleela, fresh off her success with Pushpa 2, also headlines the cast. The 24-year-old actress, known for her dynamic screen presence, recently adopted three children, further fuelling public interest in the project. With a commanding 20.8% share of audience votes on IMDb, Junior has left major star vehicles trailing behind in the digital popularity contest. Rajinikanth's Coolie, a big-ticket Tamil action thriller, stands at number two with 12.9% of votes. The film is expected to clash directly at the box office with War 2, which currently ranks seventh on IMDb's list with 7.7% of votes. Despite its lower position, War 2 is likely to climb as its release nears, especially given the star power and its link to the popular YRF spy universe. Between Coolie and War 2 in the rankings are several unexpected contenders, including Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, Saiyaara, and Kingdom, all of which are attracting solid pre-release curiosity. IMDb's Top 10 Most Anticipated Indian Films of 2025 Junior – 20.8% Coolie – 12.9% Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan – 12.7% Saiyaara – 12.5% Oho Enthan Baby – 9.8% Kingdom – 9.7% War 2 – 7.7% Maalik – 5.5% Hari Hara Veera Mallu – 4.3% Aap Jaisa Koi – 4.2% The fact that a film like Junior, featuring a woman in a leading role post-motherhood and without a traditional blockbuster male lead, can top anticipation charts speaks volumes about evolving audience preferences. The buzz appears to be less about star power and more about freshness, casting choices, and strong narratives. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
