Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi who is basking in the success of his latest film alongside Deepika Padukone, Ananya Pandey and Dhairya Karwa recently got trolled when some naysayers suggested him that he and Deepika Padukone should have taken Ranveer Singh’s ‘permission’ before performing intimate scenes in ‘Gehraiyaan’. Siddhant who made his debut opposite Ranveer Singh in ‘Gully Boy’ while reacting to the online trolling said that he was not bothered by the comments. Siddhant in an interview with a portal reacting to the trolls said, ‘It doesn’t actually (anger him), because we are professionals, we know our equation. I remember when we were shooting for this film, Ranveer had come to Goa for a few days. We chilled, we partied. In fact, when I signed the film, he was the first person I called and he was really happy. He has just been showering me with love since Gully Boy and he is my mentor in life, so it was absolutely fine. Deepika is a professional. When people say these things, kya kar sakte hai (what can one do)? Hum toh apna kaam kar rahe hai (We are just doing our job).’ In Shakun Batra’s ‘Gehraiyaan’, Deepika Padukone playing Alisha has an affair with Siddhant Chaturvedi playing Zain. Siddhant added that he and Deepika were simply going with director Shakun Batra’s vision and that their job was made easy by intimacy director Dar Gai. He said, ‘I think we did it in the most elegant way with an intimacy director Dar (Gai) coming on board. It took a little time for me as well to ease into it but it was very important because it was not supposed to be for shock value. It was a part of the film. Now that you have watched the film, you know that it’s not forced or anything. It’s there because it’s part of the story.’ Ranveer being a proud husband was very impressed by Deepika’s performance in Gehraiyaan. Calling her performance ‘dazzling,’ Ranveer said, ‘Everywhere I go, people are just talking about how dazzling you were in this film! You deserve every bit of it , my jaan! What an extraordinary artiste you are! Breathtaking portrayal ….. it’s magic, pure magic.’ Deepika on the other hand has called audience’s response to her performance ‘dizzying’For more such news and updates stay tuned to ETimes.
