Yudhra’s latest romantic song Saathiya offers fans a glimpse of the sizzling chemistry between Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan against the backdrop of a beach. The duo is seen getting intimate in the video with a love-struck eye gaze that is not easy to forget. The actress shared her experience about shooting the scenes with Siddhant and why it was a difficult task.

In an interview with News18 Showsha, Malavika reflected on the significance of having intimacy coordinators as they create a 'safe space for the actors’ with boundaries. She said, “The process of intimacy isn’t as simple as just doing it. Coordinators are making it easier."

Notably, the sets of Yudhra didn’t have any such coordinators but a bigger challenge for Malavika was not bold scenes but the extreme cold weather during the song shoot. Sharing her experience, the actress said, “More than the intimacy, what we were concerned about was the cold while shooting for the song. In that video, we had to shoot a couple of intimate moments where we had to kiss. We were against the waves, completely drenched, and it was freezing! The last thing on our minds was kissing."

The Thangalaan actress also added that both of them were more focused on escaping the extreme cold weather and not on kissing scenes. Reminiscing about the song shoot, she said that the behind-the-scenes are mostly goofy because of the freezing temperature.
