21 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Filming kissing scenes involves technical setups, not genuine emotions.
- Actors often stare at thermocol or cloth pieces during intimate scenes.
- Girija Oak starred in 'Jawan', 'Taare Zameen Par', and 'Ladies Special'.
Girija Oak, recently in the spotlight for her role in 'Jawan', has shed light on the unglamorous reality of shooting intimate scenes. She explained that filming kissing sequences is a highly technical process, far removed from the romantic portrayals seen on screen. The focus is on technical execution rather than emotional connection, with controlled environments and constant adjustments.
Oak detailed the behind-the-scenes procedures, including managing the air conditioning, microphone placement, and lighting. She recounted how actors often have to interact with inanimate objects like thermocol or cloth for lighting purposes, rather than their co-stars. This mechanical approach, she stated, leaves no room for genuine romantic feelings during the scene's execution.
Known for her versatile performances in Marathi and Hindi cinema, Girija Oak has also appeared in films like 'Taare Zameen Par' and web series such as 'Modern Love: Mumbai'. Her insights offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the often-unseen technicalities that contribute to the illusion of romance in films.
