Television and OTT actress Khushi Dubey has steadily carved a space for herself with unconventional roles and emotionally layered performances. Best known for playing Chikki Chauhan in Gul Khan’s hit romantic thriller series Aashiqana, the actress became a fan-favourite for her chemistry with co-star Zayn Ibad Khan and the show’s intense romantic storytelling. In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Khushi opened up about shooting bold romantic scenes in Aashiqana. Scroll on to know what the actress had to share.
Khushi Dubey Reveals Feeling Nervous Before Shooting Intimate Scenes
Talking about whether she initially felt uncomfortable while filming intimate scenes for the show, Khushi admitted that the experience was completely new for her. She shared, “Woh tha matlab starting mein mere liye bahut… maine kabhi kiya nahi tha. So the thing is that I got very comfortable with Zayn as a co-actor, as a friend. So that is very important, otherwise thoda sa wo dikhta hai on screen.”
The actress further praised producer Gul Khan and the entire team for handling the scenes with sensitivity and clarity. She added, “Aur jo scenes humne shoot kiye the, I mean Gul ma’am has helped a lot. You know ki kaisa dikhna chahiye. Initially, she had called me that aise hai scene, but it is just because we want… this is a part of the story, aise-aise karke. And joh team hai, they made sure that we are very comfortable. Joh mere director hain, he made sure that we are very comfortable, minimal se minimal log rahein uss space mein.”
Khushi explained that she became so immersed in the role that the scenes eventually started feeling natural to her. She said, “And I think maine Aashiqana ki journey as Chikki, maine khud itni jee li thi na ki it was just a part of the show for me, you know. I never took it like a very big, some very tough scene or something. Aur aapke co-actor se aapki bonding, aapka comfort level kaisa hai, uss pe bhi depend karta hai ki aap usko kitna achhe se kar sakte ho. But challenging toh rehta hai because you know, you’re spending time with your loved ones in a honeymoon versus you doing it in front of 200 people is a very different thing.”
Khushi Dubey Reflects On How OTT Gave Them The Liberty
Khushi also pointed out that the OTT platform gave the makers slightly more creative freedom compared to traditional television. “And it’s really challenging in terms ki you cannot look uncomfortable in the scene. Aur doosri baat yeh thi ki wo Hotstar pe aa raha tha toh iss wajah se bhi ek thoda liberty le rahi thi ma’am ki we have to take it to a level up in terms of this also. Aur luckily, woh humare case mein bahut beautiful lagta tha.”
She added, “It was not looking vulgar and people were liking it in a romantic way. Toh haan, aur TV ke liye jo TV ke audiences the unke liye alag isliye tha kyunki always the hero-heroine come, but they never kiss, you know they hug, but they never kiss. So, woh bada shocking ho gaya tha sabke liye ki achha ho gaya, like you know.”
Khushi Dubey Reveals How She Bagged Aashiqana When She Least Expected It
Speaking about how she bagged Aashiqana, she recalled, “Abbas sir, joh creative the, unhi ka call aaya tha ki there is this series for Disney+ Hotstar, jo Gul Khan ma’am is making, and aap uske liye audition send kar do. Aur us time pe main auditions nahi de rahi thi because I was going for my Masters. Aur maine us waqt randomly Disney ke baare mein sun ke aur ma’am ke baare mein sun ke I was like, ‘Thik hai, dete hain.’ It was very random.”
Khushi added that she was shocked when she got selected almost immediately after auditioning for the role. She revealed, “Aur Gul ma’am really liked the audition. Then I got a call the next day that you have been finalised. The very next day, that ‘you have been finalised’. And I was very shocked actually. Main aur papa, we were all laughing ki yeh kahaan se ho gaya, you know. Toh phir maine apni university ki seat defer ki kyunki main already paise pay kar chuki thi. Phir woh journey start hui. I was doing my engineering ka last year. Main exams bhi de rahi thi offline at that time. But it was fun.”
