\"Elnaaz ‘Sacred Games’ star Elnaaz Norouzi<\/a> has spoken openly about how she looks at bold and intimate scenes on screen. For her, it is never about shock value but has always been about meaning. In a recent interview, she got candid and shared that nothing is a straight yes or no for her. <\/p>\n

Elnaaz Norouzi about on-screen intimacy<\/p>\n

Talking to News 18, she explained that even a kiss or an intimate moment should serve a reason. \u201cEven something like a kissing or intimate scene has to serve a purpose. Is it adding anything to the story at that moment? Is it necessary? Does it change something in the narrative?\u201d <\/p>\n

She added everything depends on how a scene is written and why it exists. In her words, \u201cI think it really depends on the situation and, more importantly, on how it\u2019s written.\u201dFor Elnaaz, intention matters more than how it looks on screen. \u201cIf it does, then it should be there. But if it\u2019s included just for the sake of it, then you have to question why it\u2019s there at all. In that case, I can choose not to do it.\u201dElnaaz also spoke about how important communication is on a film set. She feels actors should be allowed to speak and ask questions. \u201cI feel that if you\u2019re working with a good director, a strong script, and great producers, you\u2019ll understand why you need to say what you do.\u201dShe added that if she does not understand something, she speaks up. \u201cAnd if you don\u2019t, I have a voice \u2014 I can always talk to my director, try to understand it. After all, it\u2019s a collaborative project.\u201dThis open approach is something she follows in every project. She believes comfort and clarity help actors give better performances.<\/p>\n

‘Sacred Games’ scene that almost made her quit<\/p>\n

Talking about ‘Sacred Games’ Season 2, Elnaaz revealed something very personal. She said there was an intimate scene written with Nawazuddin Siddiqui<\/a>. That scene almost made her say no to the show. \u201cOn Sacred Games Season 2, there was an intimate scene with Nawazuddin Siddiqui that was written in the script. I was almost about to say no to the show because I didn\u2019t want to do that scene.\u201dWhat changed her mind was director Anurag Kashyap<\/a>. She praised the way he handled the situation. \u201cHe was so amazing. He invited me and my entire team home. We sat over lunch. We spoke about the scene. He told me how he\u2019s going to shoot it, so I\u2019m comfortable doing it.\u201dThat talk helped her trust the process. \u201cWe needed that scene because it was important to show in the series, but he also made sure that I\u2019m comfortable while doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why did ‘Mastiii 4’ feel different to her?<\/p>\n

Elnaaz also shared her thoughts on ‘Mastiii 4’ in another interview with IANS. At first, she was not keen on doing a sex comedy. She almost said no. But things changed after hearing the script. \u201cWhen Milap narrated the script to me, I realised how well it is written for 2025.\u201dShe felt the women had stronger roles this time. \u201cThe women had so much more to do, and it felt like an equal script to me.\u201d She also liked that it had meaning. \u201cI also felt it had a good message at the end and was not like the other instalments.\u201dElnaaz was careful about how women were shown. \u201cThe women in the film are portrayed as careless, but not in any other way. In fact, they are depicted as quite smart.\u201dThe actress also spoke about costumes. \u201cWe spoke a lot with Milap. We made sure the costumes were not vulgar. We paid heed to that as we wanted it to look graceful.\u201dShe ended by saying she wants to change one idea about sex comedies. \u201cSuch films don\u2019t only have to be about men, it can be about women as well. That\u2019s exactly what Mastiii 4 shows.\u201d <\/p>\n
