MUMBAI: In the hit Netflix crime thriller Sacred Games, actor Rajshri Deshpande played Nawazuddin Siddiqui's wife Subhadra. Recently, Rajshri confessed that she was referred to as a "porn actor" after her intimate moments with Nawazuddin went viral on social media. Rajshri revealed in a recent conversation that her intimate moment from Sacred Games was morphed and used inappropriately in addition to going viral.
“After Sacred Games season one, the scene went viral and it got morphed, it got into another kind of film everywhere. Social media posts were written about me,” Rajshri stated. The actor added that no questions were posed to Nawazuddin, director Anurag Kashyap, editor, or DOP during the scene. She was questioned over her decisions.
“Nobody said that Nawaz was also a part of it, nobody asked Anurag why did you shoot it, nobody asked the editor why did you cut it. The only person who was asked, ‘Why did you do it?’ was me. If a journalist is writing, ‘a porn actor’…. today my whole identity is just Sacred Games actor. Even Trial By Fire hasn’t reached the way Sacred Games has,” shared Rajshri.
The actor, who has also starred in Trial By Fire and Fame Game on Netflix, stated that she would prefer a "discussion" over "cry" over what happened. “Somethings need to change,” Rajshri said in closing.
Rajshri had previously stated in an interview that Nawazuddin had made sure she was comfortable throughout the intimate scene filming and that she was not at all uncomfortable. She added, “I’m glad that I got to play Subhadra as she is a very important part in Gaitonde’s life. What I’ve portrayed is consensual love. Unfortunately, our society doesn’t want to discuss this. We don’t talk about menstruation, forget sex.”
