By LokMarg 5th July 2023

Actor Angad Bedi who is being praised for his performance in ‘Lust Stories 2’ expressed his desire to romance veteran actor Neena Gupta on screen.

The actor recently revealed how he would love to romance her onscreen for any project. Having spent a lot of time with Neena, Angad is totally impressed by the way the veteran actor takes her roles. Angad has also expressed his desire to play a romantic role opposite her onscreen someday.
Anagad said in the statement, “Neena Gupta is an amazing actor. She has this effortless way of playing her characters, which is a lesson for many actors. In Lust Stories 2, we have a different relationship, but someday I would love to romance her onscreen for any project. I am sure it won’t be your regular romantic story so I am looking forward to any such project. I have watched many of her older projects and I feel she is one of the very underrated actors we have in the industry who is slowly getting her due credit.”

Helmed by R Balki, the movie delves into the significance of lust and sex in nurturing successful relationships, with Angad’s on-screen dynamic with Neena Gupta’s character as the grandmother highlighting the film’s compelling narrative. Neena suggested a young couple, played by Angad and Mrunal, go on a ‘test drive’ for sexual compatibility.

Lust Is A Misunderstood Word: Angad

By LokMarg 3rd July 2023

The much-awaited project ‘Lust Stories 2’ is out. One of the segments in the 4-part anthology is helmed by R Balki.

In R Balki’s segment in ‘Lust Stories 2’, Neena Gupta essays the role of Mrunal Thakur’s grandmother who advises her to take a ‘test drive’ before marriage with Angad Bedi.
Angad, who plays a pivotal role in the film, opened up about how sexual compatibility plays an important role in a healthy marriage.

“For a healthy marriage along with love, it is also important to have healthy sexual compatibility too. In today’s time and age, we still hesitate to speak about it, but there are so many marriages which have fallen apart because of sexual incompatibility. In our society, lust is a very misunderstood word, but it is an important part that strengthens the bond between a husband and wife,” he shared.

In real life, Angad has been married to actor Neha Dhupia. The two tied the knot on May 10, 2018, and they welcomed their daughter Mehr later that year. The couple’s second child Guriq was born in 2021. (ANI)

Having Matured Conversations About Sex, Lust Is Key: Mrunal

By LokMarg 30th June 2023

Actor Mrunal Thakur is being praised for her performance in ‘Lust Stories 2’.

Helmed by R Balki, the movie delves into the significance of lust and sex in nurturing successful relationships, with Mrunal’s on-screen dynamic with Neena Gupta’s character as the grandmother highlighting the film’s compelling narrative.
Sharing her views on lust and sex, Mrunal said, “I strongly believe that having matured conversations about sex and lust is key, especially when one is young and growing up. When one is a young adult, they have a role model who instils the right knowledge and information to a young person.”

She added, “If all young and impressionable minds, including kids within families, have at least one person they can have honest discussions with about these topics, they will be less likely to seek a plethora of misinformation from the outside world.”

In the film, Mrunal portrays a soon-to-be-wedded woman who finds herself humorously confronted by her grandmother about her perceived “lust quotient” with her future partner (essayed by Angad Bedi).

In the coming months, Mrunal will be seen sharing screen space with Vijay Deverakond. The yet-to-be-titled film is being helmed by Parasuram Petla and is being produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations.

She also has an important project with Nani.(ANI)
