How it . . . partner in crime - article

This was the third rape scene in the show and illustrates that these days even television is not too far behind films when it comes to showing rapes or intimate scenes. But how do their real life partners react when they see their loved ones in such tricky situations?



Mahesh, who is Shalini's fianc, feels it is just a part of the job. "As an audience I do feel a little bad but during this particular scene I was present on the sets. They shot it very aesthetically. In fact, at the end of it, I had tears in my eyes. Shalini, who was too tired, asked me if I liked it and I replied in the affirmative."

Kavita Kaushik, who is seeing Karan Grover, doesn't think highly of such scenes. She says, "I can understand that sometime you have to do such scenes and I have also done some but problems arise when you have do it with actors whom you don't get along well with. I watch every episode of Karan's show (Meri Awaaz..) and tell him straightforwardly that I did not like this or that."

She adds, "I never feel insecure while watching intimate scenes because I have a superiority complex and always think that the guy who is with me should consider himself lucky to have girl like me in his life. If he is going around with some other girl then he is stupid."

Nikhila Palat, who is Vivan's fiance, also doesn't mind her partner doing such scenes. "I have known Vivan (Maayka) for the last 4 years. He gives me priority over his work, so why should I feel insecure by just looking at one scene? Apart from that my sister and my brother-in-law are also from this industry, so they understand everything. After marriage I know that every day after he finishes work he will come to me only. He will not cheat on me because he knows that then he will lose me."

Amita Gupta (Reshmii Ghosh's boyfriend) prefers to praise Reshmii's acting talent. "I have seen Reshmii's scene in Kyunki. It is very difficult to get the right expressions in front of camera but she did it very well. If the scene is shot properly them why should I have any problem?"

Keerti Kelkar, wife of Sharad Kelkar, says that she in fact makes it a point to visit the Saat Phere sets when he has to shoot such scenes just to boost his morale.

"Not only Sharad, I too have done many such scenes and even he is very supportive. We both know that it's a part of part of our job. I know how much he loves me and so never feel bad while watching his scenes. I have been in this industry for 7 years so I know that when the director says action you automatically start and when he says cut you immediately switch off."

Keerti jokingly adds, "I only feel jealous of Angelina Jolie because Sharad is a big fan of hers."
