I Forgot They Were a Married Couple..Vishal Bhardwaj Praises the Duo

Director Vishal Bhardwaj has shared his experience of working with real-life couple Aditi Rao Hydari and Siddharth in the anthology series Lust Stories 3. In a recent interview, he said that although the two are married in real life, their relationship was never apparent on camera. Bhardwaj noted that their personal bond may have helped them feel more comfortable on set, but he always saw them as dedicated actors who completely immersed themselves in their respective roles.

Bhardwaj also revealed that Aditi and Siddharth declined to use body doubles for certain romantic scenes and chose to perform them themselves. He recalled that Aditi volunteered for a particular shot, while Siddharth completed his part with commitment and ease. The anthology features segments directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao and Shakun Batra. The series is currently streaming on Netflix.
