Anupria Goenka felt violated and uncomfortable when certain actors got handsy with her. Actress Anupria Goenka opened up about how she felt violated on set when an actor got too ‘excited’ to shoot an intimate scene with her. In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, she recalled how she felt uncomfortable while shooting the intimacy scene.
She also recalled another instance when an almost actor held her butt during a similar scene. Anupria recalled, “It happened twice. Once, I wouldn’t say that the person was taking advantage of me; rather, an excitement took over.
I could see that he’s getting excited, which is not the way it should be. Then you feel a little violated and uncomfortable. These incidents happened during kissing scenes.
" “In another instance, I was wearing clothes that weren’t comfortable. I had expected that he (the co-star), as a man, would know that holding a woman by her waist is easier in such scenes. But he almost put his hands on my butt, which wasn’t required.
He could have put his hands on my waist," she said. The actress mentioned, “Later, I moved his hands slightly up (to the waist) and told him to hold there and not below. But at that moment, it felt.
.. I could not ask him why he did that.
Because he would have simply said it was a mistake. I couldn’t call him out at that time. But I told him, ‘In the next take, don’t do this, rather do this.
’ He then adhered to that." As for kissing scenes, she said that while actors can be gentle, “but sometimes they just go at you and that’s too much to take". Anupria Goenka has been a feature in popular films like Padmaavat, Tiger Zinda Hai and War 2.
Her filmography also includes OTT shows like Sacred Games, Abhay, Criminal Justice, and Asur: Welcome to Your Dark Side, among others..
