Samir Soni recently recalled that his wife and actress Neelam Kothari’s behaviour changed after he shot intimate scenes. The actor recalled when he got the script of the show he first showed it to his wife to take her opinion about the scenes. Soni said that Neelam initially asked him to go ahead with the script. But things changed after he shot the project. Samir recalled that Neelam asked him ‘How were the intimate scenes?’. Not only that, the actor also stated that it was her friend who instigated Neelam about the intimate scenes.
In an interview with GPLus, Samir said “The makers sent me the script and after every scene, the script said, ‘The boy kisses the girl.’ One or two times is okay but after every episode, there was a kiss scene. I have to come home. So, I gave the script to my wife and I told her, ‘It is what it is. I can say no to the show. It’s not like this is Spielberg. More work will come in future. I will do it only if you are comfortable.’ Like a big-hearted woman, she said, ‘This is good for your career. I will not watch the show.”
He continued, “I finished shooting for the show and one day, I came back home and she asked me about the show. She asked me, ‘How were the intimate scenes?’ I was like, ‘I will do whatever the director says.’ Luckily the director was a woman. Then she asked me, ‘How frequently were these scenes?’ I thought this wasn’t going well.”
“Apparently one of her friends had seen the show and she had instigated her, ‘How could you let your husband do something like this?’ and all that. I told her that I showed her the script. At this point of time, I can’t say no to producers because they had already given me the script and I can’t say no to my wife,” the actor added.
Samir Soni is known for his work in Sarvam Shakthi Mayam, NRI Wives, Parichay – Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka, Baghban, Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Vivah and Dil Kya Chahta Hai to name a few.
