Anu Aggarwal recalls shooting romantic scene with a stranger; reflects on ‘Aashiqui’ emories
Actress Anu Aggarwal, on Sunday morning, took a trip down memory lane, recalling her experience of shooting a love song with 'someone she barely knew.'
The actor shared stills from one of her songs from her iconic film 'Aashiqui', and recalled umpteen number of memories.
Reflecting on the moment, Anu revealed how she had to perform intense romantic emotions despite not knowing the person who was her co-actor at the time.
The actress hasn't mentioned either the movie nor the actor she had been referring to.
She wrote, "The next day, I was back on set. Shooting a love song. With someone I barely knew-definitely not in love with. She wasn't me. She was a character. But I learned how to find what was real within me that matched the role-and give it to her. That's where building a character begins (sic)."
She added, And then you live her-in the smallest details: how she thinks, how she feels, even how she moves through everyday moments. I don't just love acting. It's my nature."
In a separate post shared on Saturday by Anu Aggarwal, she had also revealed another incident from the same phase of her life.
She had spoken about how deeply she had immersed herself into a scene that she ended up injuring her hand during the shoot
Despite the injury, the actress returned to the set the very next day, determined to continue working.
She wrote, "Some moments on screen... don't come from acting alone. On the sets of Aashiqui, I went so deep into the emotion that the line between performance and reality blurred. I injured my hand during that shot. In my twenties, living alone and finding my way, I was learning fast-about the work, and about myself.
She added, That's when I understood-I go all in. And I need to be aware of how deep I go. The next morning, I was back on set-on time. Doing my own hair and makeup. Once I commit, I deliver. And that hasn't changed."Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
