From using a vibrator to masturbation scene, Kiara Advani opens up on all

Kiara Advani has been in news for all the right reasons as the actress recently gave an excellent performance in Karan Johar’s ‘Lust Stories’. The actress maybe only five films old but she has surely gained a lot of popularity amongst the youth.

Her role in ‘Lust Story’ became the highlight of it because of her masturbation scene. In a recent interview with DNA, the actress got candid about the role, filming of the scene and much more.

Here are some excerpts from the interview:

After getting noticed for your performance in ‘Lust Stories’. Do you agree this is the best phase of your Bollywood career?

As I’m seeing so much love coming from the audience and the industry, I feel more grateful for how my journey has been so far. If Lust Stories would have been my first film, I don’t know if I would have been so grounded. But as my debut film (Fugly, 2014) didn’t get that instant love, I realized that at the end of the day, everything is temporary. That’s why I had the drive to give more than 100 percent. Today, when that love is coming, it’s a bit scary since I have seen the flip side as well. So far, the graph has been good, but it gets tougher when you reach a particular point. I still haven’t reached that as yet.

What were the thoughts that were running through your mind before the scene?

From the time I heard it till the time the scene was shot, I had different thoughts. Just a week before the shoot, we did a costume look test. I asked Karan if we were going to do any workshop. He told me, ‘No, you just come on the set, act, and have fun.’ I Googled how a vibrator works and checked out a few scenes, too. The fact that we didn’t prep helped us keep everything spontaneous. After doing this particular short, I’ve realised it’s all about the timing in comedy. The more rehearsed you are, the more boring it gets. Every night, I would get my lines and just had that much time to learn them. All our scenes were hilarious, and Karan had so many inputs while shooting it as well. He’s an actor himself, so at times he would perform each of our characters.

Did you have doubts about filming the vibrator scene?

I did it because I had no reservations or inhibitions. I never thought what the repercussions could be. That’s why my performance in that scene wasn’t hampered in any way. I didn’t overthink about whether people would be ready for it. Now that it has been accepted, I feel that’s a good thing. Of course, there are other actresses who have also done this and I’m happy it started a conversation.

Anything that you wouldn’t do on the silver screen?

I’d be careful about an intense lovemaking scene. I need to know how it’s being shot because I’ve reservations about how much to show or not. Anything that’s there just for effect and not in context to the story, doesn’t work for me.
