Ever
since
the
trailer
of
Shakun
Batra's
upcoming
film
Gehraiyaan
dropped
online,
fans
cannot
stop
talking
about
it.
Deepika
Padukone's
enticing
chemistry
with
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
too
has
become
a
talking
point.
In
a
recent
interview
with
ETimes,
the
duo
opened
up
on
shooting
the
intimate
sequences
in
the
film.
Siddhant
admitted
that
he
panicked
and
was
nervous
about
the
intimacy
part
when
he
signed
the
film.
Calling
himself
very
shy,
the
Gully
Boy
star
said
that
he
couldn't
have
performed
those
scenes
without
the
help
of
an
intimacy
coordinator.
Etimes
quoted
Siddhant
as
saying,
"When
I
signed
the
film
and
I
got
to
know
about
the
intimacy
part,
I
was
panicking,
I
was
very
nervous.
I
couldn't
have
done
it
without
the
intimacy
coordinator.
I'm
very
shy.
My
idea
of
cinema
is
a
little
different.
I
have
grown
up
watching
romcoms
and
have
been
conditioned
in
that
way.
So
for
me
to
kind
of
accept
and
believe
in
Shakun's
vision,
it
was
just
submitting
myself.
I
don't
think
this
performance
would
have
been
possible
without
an
intimacy
coordinator.
I
wouldn't
be
comfortable."
On
the
other
hand,
his
co-star
Deepika
Padukone
in
the
same
interview
pointed
out
that
the
intimacy
in
Gehraiyaan
is
not
to
titillate
or
to
excite
the
audience.
On
being
asked
if
it
was
an
liberating
experience
for
her
to
be
able
to
portray
her
character
and
her
feelings
including
the
physical
intimacy
part,
the
actress
said,
"I
won't
attribute
it
to
age
and
even
to
gender.
If
that's
something
happening
generically,
then
I
would
say,
fine.
But
I
wouldn't
say
that
younger
filmmakers
have
a
certain
sensibility
or
the
female
directors
have
a
certain
sensibility,
I
would
attribute
it
from
person
to
person."
She
continued,
"And
I
would
100
percent
say
that,
if
a
film
like
Gehraiyaan
wasn't
in
the
hands
of
a
director
like
Shakun,
either
I
would
do
the
film
and
not
be
able
to
submit
to
it,
in
the
way
I
have.
If
the
director
insisted
it
had
to
be
done
a
certain
way,
then
I
would
probably
just
excuse
myself
from
it.
A
lot
of
things
we
have
been
able
to
do
in
this
film
is
based
on
the
comfort
and
trust
that
I've
had
in
him.
If
there's
intimacy,
you
know
that
it's
not
to
titillate
or
to
excite
the
audience.
It's
coming
from
a
very
authentic
place
of
what
the
characters
are
experiencing
and
what
the
film
requires.
If
the
film
was
in
anyone
else's
hand,
then
in
all
probability,
I
wouldn't
have
done
it.
I
would
probably
push
back
on
certain
things.
