Elnaaz Norouzi comes out in support of Anurag Kashyap: He modified an intimate scene in Scared Games for me

Anurag Kashyap has been under media scrutiny ever since Payal Ghosh accused him of sexual misconduct when she met him in professional capacity years ago. The actress claimed that he forced himself on her when she visited his residence to discuss work. Anurag Kashyap who is a noted filmmaker in the Hindi Film industry got support from various women who he has worked within his career as a filmmaker. His ex-wife, Kalki Koechlin also extended her supported to him. And now, Sacred Games actress Elnaaz Norouzi has come out in support of the director saying that he modified a sex scene in the show because she was not comfortable.

“I remember I was ready to leave #SacredGames2 because of a particular Sex scene that I wasn’t comfortable with doing. After much back and forth with the production house and my team, @anuragkashyap10 sir messaged me and said: ‘Listen don’t worry I’ll figure it out, just trust me.’ I had only shot one day with him for season 1 by then and I wasn’t familiar enough with him to know if I can trust him or no but I just agreed,” Elnaaz Norouzi wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.

She elaborated on the incident saying how she became anxious on the day they were supposed to shoot the sex scene and went on to reveal how Anurag Kashyap modified the shot keeping her reservations in mind. “The day we had to shoot that scene came and I had anxiety the entire time… I knew, now that I am on set they’ll somehow make me do the scene and I won’t be able to say no because I was already told that The Script won’t be changed… I had a feeling I’d have to do the scene even if I didn’t really want to… I was called on set and Anurag sir started briefing me as to how he will shoot it keeping in mind, what I had told him I’m not comfortable doing,” she added.

She revealed that the incident left her emotional. “I felt like crying, I felt like crying because I didn’t expect him to actually keep my concern in mind.. I didn’t expect him to actually shoot it in a way that I would be comfortable with…i didn’t expect him to make sure we shoot the scene with me keeping my clothes on even though it was written otherwise … I felt like crying because he proved me wrong and kept his word! And once we shot the scene, I did cry in my vanity and I sent him a long message thanking him for being the kind of MAN that he is,” she signed off. Have a dekko at her post here:
