The anthology, known for its bold narratives, featured a segment titled “Mirror,” directed by Konkona Sen Sharma.

Opening up about her initial reservations, Amruta shared how the script presented a plethora of intimate scenes that left her apprehensive.

However, a surprising source of encouragement emerged in the form of Amruta’s husband, who is not only a friend to Shrikant but also an actor himself. In a light-hearted moment that drew laughter from the panel, Amruta disclosed, “My husband is his friend and also an actor. He is telling him ‘tu karlega, acche se karlega (you’ll do it well).'”

The revelation provided a glimpse into the supportive network that exists within the industry, where personal relationships and camaraderie play a crucial role in navigating the challenges of portraying intimate scenes on screen.
