She
is
the
one
known
to
always
push
the
boundaries
as
far
as
work
is
concerned.
Whether
it
is
starting
out
as
a
model
and
then
making
a
successful
career
in
the
movies
as
an
actress
and
now
producer,
Deepika
Padukone
doesn't
fail
to
surprise
us.
She
speaks
her
mind
and
also
lets
her
actions
speak
louder.
Deepika
has
surprised
her
fans
yet
again
with
a
delicate
portrayal
of
intimacy
in
her
new
film
Gehraiyaan,
in
which
she
stars
with
relative
newbies
Siddhant
Chaturvedi,
Ananya
Panday
and
Dhairya
Karwa.
It
is
probably
the
first
time
in
Indian
cinema
or
in
Bollywood
that
such
natural-looking
kissing
and
intimate
scenes
have
been
shown,
as
we
can
see
in
the
Gehraiyaan
trailer
and
the
songs.
Much
has
been
said
and
written
about
these
scenes
of
Deepika
Padukone
and
Siddhant
Chaturvedi.
The
other
actors
also
have
such
scenes
in
the
film.
Deepika
and
Siddhant
as
well
as
the
Gehraiyaan
intimacy
director
Dar
Gai
and
the
film's
director
Shakun
Batra
have
spoken
about
the
process
of
filming
these
scenes
in
a
professional
manner.
We
at
Filmibeat
spoke
to
Deepika
Padukone
in
an
exclusive
chat
for
Gehraiyaan
in
which
we
tried
to
bring
forth
her
thought
process
while
shooting
intimate
scenes
and
how
she
approaches
them.
Excerpts:
Before
signing
a
film,
do
you
look
at
what
kind
of
intimate
scenes
there
are
in
the
script
and
if
they
are
needed
or
not?
Do
you
discuss
it
with
the
director
or
the
scriptwriter?
Is
it
in
your
mind?
Sticking
to
talking
about
Gehraiyaan,
Deepika
Padukone
replied,
"Honestly,
if
it
weren't
for
a
director
like
Shakun
(Batra),
I
probably
wouldn't
have
signed
up
for
a
film
like
this.
Because
I
know
that
someone
like
him
is
extremely
intelligent
and
sensitive
when
it
comes
to
these
things.
Intimacy
in
this
film
is
not
there
to
titillate
or
excite
the
audience.
It's
there
because
it's
just
a
natural...it's
as
honest
to
these
characters
and
to
this
film
as
any
other
part
of
the
film.
So,
there
is
inherent
trust
that
I
have
in
Shakun,
which
is
why
I
didn't
even
have
to...
Of
course,
we
discussed
it.
(But)
The
discussion
was
not
before
signing
the
film
-
ke
main
yeh
karoongi,
itna
karoongi
(I
will
only
do
this).
We
didn't
have
that
kind
of
conversation."
"Of
course,
we
knew
that
we
were
going
to
showcase
intimacy
or
love-making
or
whatever
you
call
it,
in
a
very
different
way
as
compared
to
how
we've
seen
in
Hindi
films
historically
-
that
was
a
conversation
we
had.
But
at
the
same
time,
my
decision
to
do
this
film
was
not
based
on
that.
I
agreed
to
do
the
film
because
I
had
immense
trust
in
Shakun
and
his
vision."
"We
were
never
made
to
do
things
we
were
not
comfortable
doing"
Deepika
went
on
to
add,
"And
then,
of
course,
at
a
later
stage
when
we
were
doing
our
workshops,
etc.,
we
would
talk
about
it.
We
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
me
and
Sid
(Siddhant)
and
everyone
were
comfortable
doing
it.
But
neither
was
it
so
much
of
a
discussion.
We
were
never
made
to
do
things
we
were
not
comfortable
doing."
"Approach
intimate
scenes
like
action
or
dance
sequences"
Deepika
then
let
her
secret
out
as
to
how
she
approaches
such
scenes.
"The
thing
is
that,"
she
said,
"You
have
to
approach
it
like
the
way
you
would
do
action
or
the
way
you
would
do
dance
rehearsals.
The
way
you
would
have
song
and
dance
and
action
sequences
and
rehearsals.
Intimacy
is
pretty
much
the
same
thing.
It's
been
happening
in
the
west
for
years.
It's
just
that
in
India
it's
a
new
concept."
What
Deepika
said
at
the
Gehraiyaan
trailer
launch
At
the
Gehraiyaan
trailer
launch
on
January
20
also,
Deepika
had
revealed,
"Shakun
gave
me
and
all
of
us
the
comfort;
you
feel
safe
and
secure
because
intimacy
is
not
easy.
It
is
not
something
that
we
ever
experienced
or
explored
in
Indian
cinema
before
in
a
way
we
have
in
this
film.
So,
to
go
down
that
route
of
intimacy
and
vulnerability
is
possible
when
you
know
the
director
is
not
doing
it
for
eyeballs."
Deepika
had
said
that
her
character
of
Alisha
in
Gehraiyaan
is
"bold"
but
"raw
and
real".
She
also
said
that
She
had
said,
"I
have
not
done
something
like
this
before.
I
have
done
films
and
a
lot
of
characters
that
are
love
stories
or
relationship
dramas...my
character
in
Gehraiyaan
is
bold.
I
also
don't
want
to
say
bold
because...the
way
we
understood
bold
in
our
films
and
the
characters
that
we've
seen.
So,
I'd
say
raw.
This
character
is
a
lot
more
raw
and
real
than
some
of
the
other
characters
that
I
have
played."
"Emotionally,
it
is
completely
stripped
and
naked
in
that
sense,
and
completely
vulnerable.
I
think
to
be
able
to
do
that
on
screen,
it
has
to
come
from
a
very
deep
place.
It
is
not
to
say
that
I
haven't
experienced
that
before.
But,
not
to
this
extent,
where
I
have
to
really
dig
deep
and
go
to
the
places
that
aren't
really
pleasant
experiences
from
my
own
life,"
she
had
said.
