We would have thought it would be easy for Saif Ali Khan to do a sizzling bedroom scene with his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. So we were rather surprised to hear that Saif thinks otherwise and is in a dilemma about how far to go while filming an intimate scene, given the comfort level the two share. Saif did try his hand at working up a sizzling chemistry with Kareena in Tashan.
But now, while shooting for Rensil D’Silva’s untitled next, Saif says he was constantly conscious of the fact that it was his girlfriend that he was making love to, on screen. “It was obviously easier to do the intimate scenes with Kareena as my co-star and it would be the easiest thing for me to say otherwise, but I’ll admit, having Kareena as my co-star on the sets actually made me feel more responsible, and so more conscious. I did not want to show off our relationship by accentuating the intimacy aspect. It was quite a double-edged sword there! Of, course, at the end of the day we’re all actors, but this was certainly different,” Saif explains.
About the film, Saif says “It’s a love story with a passionate and relevantly disturbing theme. And I have kissing scenes with Kareena because Rensil is making a real contemporary film here. We just can’t have two flowers touching each other to show intimacy. At the same, we have taken care that there isn’t anything that will make us squirm while watching the film with our parents. We’ve done the scenes tastefully and within the limits of decorum.”
Having completed the film, Saif and Kareena are now ready to fly of to holiday to mysterious destination. Revealing their holiday plans, Saif says, “We’re holidaying it Italy. And though one likes to be private about holidaying, I’m hardly a Johnny Depp to have fans stalking me! In fact, an Indian fan who follows us to Italy should be applauded for his resilience.”
