Anushka Kaushik reveals about her experience with Lust Stories 2

In an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, Anushka sat down to discuss her recent performance in Lust Stories 2. She also discussed the movie’s success and the positive reception she has garnered for her performance in Lust Stories 2. Expressing her delight, she shared,

“I am happy. Our story has received tons of love from people. We created something with lots of love and hard work. I am happy that I got an opportunity to be a part of it. Both Kajol ma’am and Kumud sir were very considerate about the people around them.”

She also talked about how the whole crew of the film made actors comfortable despite having a complex story. She said,

“The entire team made me feel comfortable on the sets. Despite two big names being a part of the story, people have recognized me and that was something I really wanted. I wasn’t sure about how I would perform but I’m happy after reading all the reviews.”

Anushka also showered praises on fellow co-star Kajol and recounts her experience of working alongside the seasoned actress. She said,

“I used to dance to Kajol Ma’am’s songs when I was in school. And now sharing screen with her is definitely a dream come true for me. When we were reading for the first time, I was in awe of her. She was very professional and considerate about my ideas. She also appreciated everything and I really enjoyed being with her.”

Anushka Kaushik reveals the hesitation she initially had about intimate scenes.

Later on, actress Anushka Sharma admits that she had reservations about performing intimate scenes.  Speaking about this, she said,

“Initially, I was skeptical. But when I signed Lust Stories 2, I was inclined with the thoughts and ideas of my director. Once I am a part of the story, I deliver it with utmost honesty. I started my journey with theatre and YouTube.”

She added that due to her hesitation, she previously rejected many projects and doubt if her audience would love that. She said,

“So, I had said no to a lot of projects that had intimate scenes. I used to wonder if the audience will like what I’m doing. But now people have understood why those scenes are important and what is the voice of the story. These scenes are not for any kind of masala but for the story. So, I was concerned about how they wanted to portray me also because there were very few dialogues. But everything was beautifully shot.”

Lastly, Anushka thanks everyone for their time and thanks the OTT platform industry for the opportunity it has given her. She said,

“I’ve enjoyed playing various characters and I consider myself lucky that I’ve got the opportunity to play versatile roles in different stories. I’ve got to explore so much. It’s a pleasure to entertain the audience with different roles.”
