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.

Siddharth P. Malhotra reveals how Aditya Chopra's support kept 'Maharaj' alive amid setbacks
Picture Credit: X Filmmaker Siddharth P. Malhotra has opened up about the emotional support he received from Aditya Chopra during the making of "Maharaj." In an interview with IANS, Malhotra shared that Chopra's encouragement and belief in the project played a crucial role in keeping him motivated through challenging times. Siddharth recalled how he stayed resilient over the years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. He credited Aditya Chopra, his mentor and the driving force behind the film's production, for believing in him. He shared, "There were moments when I felt hopeless, especially during the two years of Covid. But your family keeps you going-my parents, my wife, my kids, even my dog Simba. Junaid is like a son to me. We leaned on each other." "When Aditya Chopra, my mentor and the reason I produced this film, watched it, he sent me a letter saying, "I'm proud of you." That was my first real reward. He told me again after seeing the final cut that I had made a large-scale, powerful film, and that it would elevate me as a director. Netflix also loved the film Maharaj. So, I knew we had something strong. I'm thankful that it finally reached people-and to those who haven't seen it yet, I say: please watch it. " Siddharth P. Malhotra also shared the struggles he faced while launching Junaid Khan. He revealed that although there was a detailed 21-22-day marketing plan in place, none of it was executed as expected. "The entire film had a marketing plan. We had a full 21-22-day promotional strategy laid out. But none of it happened-no interviews, no media push from Aamir sir, Netflix, or YRF," Siddharth said. He admitted the unconventional release strategy was not by choice and called the situation "heartbreaking." Still, he stood by the team's decision, stating, "We believed in the film." Reflecting on how he managed to stay hopeful despite Covid 19 delays and the controversy surrounding the film's release, Siddharth acknowledged moments of doubt. "You do lose hope sometimes. But then your family, friends, and team hold your hand and remind you why you started." The 2024 released historical drama marked the acting debut of Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan. The film also featured Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey and Sharvari. Based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862 and Saurabh Shah's novel about the case, the thriller was released on 21 June 2024 on Netflix.
