Kriti Sanon And Kartik Aaryan Exhibit A Chemistry That Is Rare

Kriti Sanon and Kartik Aaryan inhabit two very different worlds. But somehow, they exhibit a chemistry that is rare.

- Mehul Reuben Das

She is unfaltering, centred and calm. He, on the other hand, is spry, lively and yet, at times a little, shy. Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon are as opposite as people get. And yet, in front of a camera, they gel perfectly well with each other. So good that they have been cast opposite each other in Laxman Utekar’s directorial debut, Luka Chuppi. We chatted with the duo over what is understandably the most arduous subject ever—the art of love.

How was your experience shooting with FHM?

Kriti Sanon (KS): It was great! We had a lot of fun. I saw some of the images and they look amazing as they were. I am looking forward to the magazine when it is finally out.

Kriti, how do you select a script? What goes on in your mind during a narration?

It never is the same. Different scripts have different elements that attract me. More often than not, it boils down to the fact that if I would be interested in the film as it is going to the audience or if I would actually watch the film. Then there is also the way a story gets narrated by the director or the scriptwriter. In such a case, people tend to depend on their first instinct. I also consider the people who are involved with the project. You need to be able to enjoy the project you are working on. So at the end, I think it is a combination of all these things.

Tell us something about your upcoming film, Luka Chuppi.

KS: As you know, it literally means hide and seek, and I think this is what best describes the film. The film is a situational comedy, based in a small town. It essentially is about two young people in love, who are trying to live together to understand each other better. It is almost a live in relationship, but with the entire family involved.
