Amrita Rao on Working Again With Shahid Kapoor: There is Still an Audience Waiting for Us to Come Together
Amrita Rao wonders why she wasn't offered more movies with Shahid Kapoor after Vivaah.
Actress Amrita Rao says she does not feel comfortable in doing love-making scenes on screen. In an interview to IANS, Amrita spoke about her return on the big screen after a long time with the film Thackeray and why she does not like to be a part of "love-making" scenes anymore. She said, "As the cinema is changing, on-screen kissing, love-making scenes are becoming part of the narrative. Thackeray Box Office Collection Day 1: Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Political Drama Earns Rs 6 Crore.
"I am not saying it is wrong, because it is the reflection of how our society has changed and become comfortable with it. But I am uncomfortable performing it on screen. Love-making is so personal to me that if I do it on screen, it is like I am leaving a part of my soul. I cannot do that," she further added.
According to her, it is not about "right or wrong, it is just about a choice that we all make."Having started her career in 2002 in Bollywood with Ab Ke Baras, Amrita later appeared in films like Ishq Vishq, Main Hoon Na, Vivah and Welcome to Sajjanpur. Like Vicky Kaushal's Uri, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Thackeray Too Will Not Release In Pakistan.
When asked if she would like to act with him again, Amrita said, "Well after Vivah, we should have done more films together but I really do not know why it did not happen." The good thing is that there is still an audience waiting for us to come together and do a film. Like the audience, even I am looking forward to such an occasion to happen." Amrita also said that she would like to work with actor Ayushmann Khurrana in because she enjoys watching him on the screen a lot.
