Anupria Goenka Gets Real About Shooting Romantic Scenes
Anupria Goenka, known for her compelling performances in projects like Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, Asur, and Aashram, opens up about a rarely discussed aspect of her craft. In a recent candid conversation, she sheds light on the emotional effort involved in performing intimate and romantic scenes, offering a glimpse into the nuances of her acting process.
In an interview with Mirror, Anupria Goenka shares her insights on working with co-stars in intimate scenes, saying, 'It is very important that your co-star and you are on the same page, along with the director. I feel that often male actors are the ones who get a little conscious, and their heroines have to do double the work."
Furthermore, Anupria elaborates on the dynamics of on-screen romance, saying, 'When you're romancing for the camera, your male co-star often becomes conscious and fears being judged and misunderstood. It's extremely important to have a beautiful chemistry with them, and genuine on-screen chemistry stems from trust and comfort. When that happens, the audience can feel it."
The 38-year-old actress has always been vocal about her opinions. In a previous interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anupria Goenka revealed her audition journey for Salman Khan's blockbuster film Sultan, a role that ultimately went to Anushka Sharma.
Anupria shared her experience, saying, 'Maine Sultan ke liye audition kiya tha, main part. Tab voh log naye logo ko dhoond rahe the. Mere kuch 11-12 test hue the… pehle ek audition hua tha, phir doosra audition hua, phir there was a music video test, phir there was a dance test with Vaibhavi (Merchant), and then there were readings with Ali (Abbas Zafar)."
She added, 'That one-month process was beautiful. Thankfully mere liye voh poora process ek mahine ka tha. Agar voh 6-7 mahine ya ek saal chalta toh insaan anxiety main hi reh jaata na… Jab tak main Ali se nahi mili, mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki Sultan ki baat ho rahi hai because YRF main they don't give you the actual script. They give you some other script and they make you audition on that… It was only when I met Ali and he kept referring to 'Mr Khan', then I realised ki this is for Sultan and the main part."
Sultan went on to become a massive hit at the box office, with Anushka Sharma's portrayal of a feisty wrestler earning widespread acclaim.

Saiyaara box office collection day 10: Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda's film sees another jump on second Sunday as it eyes Chhaava record, crosses Rs 300 cr worldwide
A day after becoming the second highest grossing Hindi film of 2025, Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara has added another feather to its cap. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer has now crossed the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide after adding another Rs 30 crore to its domestic box office collection on the second Sunday. Saiyaara had already crossed Rs 280 crore worldwide on Saturday. Saiyaara India box office collection On its 10th day at the domestic box office, Saiyaara collected Rs 30 crore, yet another jump from its Saturday (day 9) collection of Rs 26.5 crore. The film breached the daily limit of Rs 20 crore on Saturday after two days of earning less than that. Besides day 10, Saiyaara managed to cross the Rs 30 crore mark in a day only last Sunday (day 3) when it earned Rs 35.75 crore, another major spike from its Saturday (day 2) earnings of Rs 26 crore. As per Sacnilk, the box office collection of Saiyaara in India now stands at Rs 247.25 crore. The film has already crossed the domestic box office collections of several superstar films like Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 (Rs 198.41 crore), Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 (Rs 179.30 crore), and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 165.85 crore). Saiyaara is second biggest box office earner if 2025 Saiyaara's current domestic box office collection is only next to that of Laxman Utekar's period action film Chaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, which earned Rs 615.39 crore. It's a long way to go before Suri's film can even come close to that record. With fresh competition in Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 coming in this Friday, the progress of Saiyaara is likely to slow down. Saiyaara marks the debut of Ahaan Panday, who's the first cousin of actor Ananya Panday and the nephew of Chunky Panday. It is also the first lead outing for Padda, who first made an impression in the Prime Video India series Big Girls Don't Cry last year. The film also stars actors Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola and Shaad Randhawa in prominent roles. Produced by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films, the official logline of the film reads, 'Passionate lovers navigate a rollercoaster romance, facing euphoric highs and crushing lows while desperately clinging to their tumultuous bond.' It also marks the debut of YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani as producer. Also Read: Saiyaara just fixed everything Bollywood broke about love Last week, Aamir Khan congratulated the team of Saiyaara by posting a note on the official social media handles of his banner, Aamir Khan Productions. 'Congratulations to the entire team of 'Saiyaara' on its remarkable theatrical success! Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda shine in their debut film with such grace and depth. Mohit Suri brings his intensity and passion to the film, and full credit to YRF for championing this melodious and and heartfelt story.' Not only Aamir, but also other industry stalwarts like Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar have congratulated the team of Saiyaara for the resounding success.
