“As Long As It’s Helping My Films,” How Siddhant Chaturvedi Deals With Link Up With Actresses

The recent episode of Sunday Brunch with Kamiya Jani did what the show does best: it disarmed its guests before asking the one question that actually matters. Actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur joined Kamiya to promote Do Deewane Seher Mein, but the episode never felt like a standard press stop. It began, unexpectedly, inside a Mumbai Rage Room!

From there, the mood shifted, as the trio drove to 190 AMSL, a restaurant perched high above the city and known for marrying Maharashtrian staples with Purvanchali influences. 

Kamiya Jani, our Editor-in-Chief, asked what happens when audiences blur the line between on-screen romance and real life. Not in abstract terms, but in the way headlines casually declare relationships into existence.

Mrunal Thakur answered the question very straightforwardly. She described how routine appearances such as interviews, events, and promotional tours automatically attach her name to whoever stands beside her. The assumption travels faster than wildfire, and more often than not, she said, the speculation is simply untrue.

What unsettles her isn’t the rumour itself, but the ripple effect! Friends call her after reading something online, about a supposed boyfriend or a supposed marriage. “Teri shaadi Google se pata lag rahi hai,” they tell her, half-laughing and half-hurt. They feel blindsided, as if she withheld something personal. And then she has to explain that there was nothing to withhold; the illusion never belonged to her in the first place.

Siddhant Chaturvedi Feels It Reflects Strong On-Screen Chemistry

Siddhant Chaturvedi views the same phenomenon from a different angle. He doesn’t rush to dismantle the fantasy. If audiences assume two co-stars are together, he reasons, that belief reflects convincing chemistry. In his eyes, that perception means they have successfully sold the romance of the film.

For him, speculation becomes an extension of storytelling. If it fuels curiosity, draws viewers in, and ultimately benefits the film’s performance, he sees it as part of the machinery of celebrity culture.

Over regional dishes and iconic views, the episode quietly unpacked a reality the industry rarely articulates this plainly: in cinema, the line between performance and perception rarely stays still.
