Deepika Padukone Gehraiyaan intimacy scenes is the talk of the town. The intimacy director of the movie Dar Gai revealed the interesting experiences at the movie set she had while shooting intimate scene for the movie.
She said the idea is to look at intimate scenes, just the way we look at fight or dance sequences. And, by intimate scenes, I do not necessarily mean physical scenes. It can be a strong emotional and passionate scene. Intimacy directors create safety zones for the actors to work and feel comfortable with each other.”
In an interview she revealed she intended to remain on for five days to conduct workshops and direct the music videos, but she ended up staying for a month and a half.
Dar Gai conducted workshops with Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Pandey and Dhairya Karwa, in an interview with Hindustan Times.
Starring Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Dhairya Karwa in lead roles, Gehraiyaan is the first Indian feature-length film to credit a person as an intimacy director.
Asked about her experience of working with the actors Deepika Padukone and others, Dar said, “It was amazing. I was supposed to come for five days – one week to conduct the workshops and direct the music videos but I stayed there for a month and a half. The hospitality and everyone’s energies allowed us to explore going beyond boundaries. The workshops we did with Deepika and Siddhant were fun because of their vulnerability and childish wonder and that helped a lot on sets.

Sharing the fun she had on set, Dar added “One of our jokes was, every time I would come on the set, Shakun would go ‘Oh my God, thank God you came. Just tell them to kiss. Because I do not want to tell them to kiss.’ And, I would run away. That was our inner joke. And, then when there were intimate scenes, let us say a kiss or a hug, they would shout ‘Where is Dar?’ Because we would first do certain exercises to make it all much more easy and more fun.”
Elaborating on the job of an intimacy director, she said, “Imagine you want to go diving, and you are scared. You are not scared of the water, but with all the equipment, you are not sure what you will see. So, the idea of an intimacy director is that first she/he will explain the route and then come with you underwater to show the underwater world.
