In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Yudhra actress Malavika Mohanan shared her experience shooting intimate scenes with her co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi.
The actress said that intimate scenes are more awkward. She added, "When you are shooting for a song, it's more technical and you are freezing in the cold. The sand was so uncomfortable. Everything was so uncomfortable so the last thing on my mind was intimacy. Toh aap intimacy ke bare mein such re hi nahi ho, aap baki elements ke bare me such rahe ho ki jaise hi to cut bolenge, I need my blanket."
She also mentioned that what looks glamorous on-screen is quite unglamorous in the making.
