As she traced about her acting journey, popular actress Sayani Gupta decided to share a glimpse of the other side of stardom. While she is known for her candour and straight-forward nature, the actress insisted on the need of intimacy coordinators and explained how often the safety of actors are overlooked or ignored. She further shared her own experiences wherein she also mentioned coming across actors who have ‘lingered the kiss’ even after completing the take.
Sayani Gupta calls out ‘indecent behaviour’ of ‘certain’ actors who ‘linger the kiss even after a cut’; says, “Sometimes your boundaries are compromised”
In an interview with Radio Nasha, Sayani Gupta opened up about doing intimate scenes and expressed how thankful she is about having the intimacy coordinators on sets now. The actress said, “I am grateful that this is a profession that has come to India finally. I had worked with one in Margarita with a Straw in 2013. Intimate scenes are the easiest to do because it is technical. Having said that, a lot of people also take advantage, and I have been in situation where an actor will linger the kiss even after a cut and you are like ‘uhhh’. Sometimes it’s very subtle but that’s just indecent behaviour.”
She went on to talk about doing an outdoor shot in Goa for her popular web-series Four More Shots where she was expected to wear a really short dress with the shot having many men around. Recalling the same, Sayani added, “I felt so vulnerable at that point because there were some 70 men standing in front of me. There was not one person on set who was next to me, there wasn’t even much staff also – with 800 extras. I was like, ‘I just need one person to be with a shawl.’ There are many a times when an actor’s safety, or anyone’s safety, is the last thing on anyone’s minds. It doesn’t have to be an intimate scene but sometimes your boundaries are compromised which is a general mindset that needs to be expanded.”
On the work front, Sayani Gupta recently featured alongside her Four More Shots co-star Prateik Babbar and Kubbra Sait in Khwaabon Ka Jhamela.
