Vaani Kapoor: Intimate scenes are never easy to carry out
Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui released last year in December. The film featured Vaani Kapoor and Ayushmann Khurana in lead roles. The film had some intimate scenes as well. Vaani Kapoor played the role of a transwoman in the film. In a recent interview, the actress opened up about the intimate scenes in her movies and said that it is never easy to carry out such scenes.
Vaani Kapoor said, "The intimate scenes in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui were included for a reason. However, there was no hardcore lovemaking scene in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, War (2019), or Befikre (2016). But yes, intimate scenes are never easy to carry out. Now for me, I need to trust the director. I won't work with a director in such cases if I feel he is dodgy and I cannot trust him. "
While preparing for this challenging role, Vaani said, "I spoke to Trans women via video calls and they shared whatever they wanted to from their lives. Gattu (Abhishek Kapoor) helped me reach them. I also went through movies and even documentaries, not just in English but in French as well. I made crazy notes as I wanted to give full justice to the role.” she added further.
The film garnered praise and even managed to start a conversation about equality for the trans community.
