Gulshan Devaiah is currently basking in the success of his movie ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’, where he played an antagonist. Amid this success, he has been receiving praise from his co-star Girija Oak Godbole for his professionalism on set. The actors will be seen together in the upcoming web series ‘Therapy Sherapy’.
While speaking to The Lallantop, Girija revealed that Gulshan made her feel comfortable while shooting an intimate scene and praised the actor. “No matter how much you plan or discuss beforehand, there are very few people with whom you don’t feel even a milligram of discomfort. Gulshan is one of them.”
“It was a sequence where the husband and wife make love like it’s just another job — like doing laundry or paying bills. There’s no passion, no emotion, just routine. We were wearing full clothes; there was no nudity. It was more about the emotional disconnect than the act itself,” she added.
“From his vanity van, he brought three to four types of pillows — one small, one big and fluffy, another stiff. He placed them in front of me and said, ‘Look, which one will be comfortable for you?’ We tried them and chose one that felt right. During the scene, he must have asked me at least 16 or 17 times, ‘Are you okay?’” the actress further explained.
She also revealed that Gulshan made her feel completely safe while filming the scene. “This could have been a very difficult situation for someone else, but it was only because it was Gulshan that I felt so comfortable. I can even talk about it openly now because he made me feel that safe. It’s just amazing that he’s that kind of person,” she said.
For the unversed, Girija has worked in several popular films, including Taare Zameen Par, Qala, Jawan, Shor In The City and many more. She also appeared in the TV and web shows like CID, Ladies Special, Pandu, Modern Love: Mumbai, Cartel and many more.
