During the Netflix Actors Roundtable, Amruta Subhash discussed the process behind shooting intimate scenes for Lust Stories 2, emphasising the role of her husband's support. The actress shared that she had discussions with Konkona Sen Sharma, fondly referred to as 'Koko', to gain comfort before shooting numerous intimate scenes with her real-life best friend and co-star Shrikant Yadav.
While her segment 'Mirror' received praise for its bold narrative, Amruta Subhash shared insights into the challenges faced while bringing those intense moments to life on screen. She shared how both she and Shrikant were apprehensive about filming intimate scenes due to their years-long friendship. Seeking encouragement, Amruta requested a day with Shrikant before shooting. She mentioned his reluctance by saying, "I can't do this with you." Amruta's husband, who is also an actor and friends with Shrikant, provided the needed support.
Amruta said, "When I read the script, there were so many intimate scenes and I am scared of those. So I told Koko that I need one day with Shrikant, who is my best friend of (many) years. He's like ‘main tere saath ye nahi kar sakta (I can't do this with you).’ My husband is his friend and also an actor. He is telling him ‘tu karlega, acche se karlega (you’ll do it well)'." Her anecdote elicited laughter from fellow panelists, which included Kajol, Jaydeep Ahlawat, Kareena Kapoor, Tillotama Shome, Sidharth Malhotra, and Sanya Malhotra.

In July, Amruta had shared pictures of Shrikant on social media, introducing him as her on-screen husband for Lust Stories. "Got so many messages asking me who played my husband in Lust Stories 2. Happy that my old friend Shrikant Yadav is getting so much praise for this role! You must have seen him in Jalsa as a cop or also in Family Man and in Killa. What an actor!@konkonas @RSVPMovies @NetflixIndia," she wrote.
