Umesh and I conscious of not crossing each other's professional space: Priya Bapat

Popular Marathi actor Priya Bapat credits her relationship with husband Umesh Kamat for their chemistry on the web series "Aani Kay Hava?", but says the couple is careful of giving each other required space while working together.

In the second season of the MX Player Marathi web series "Aani Kay Hava?" ("What else do we need?"), Priya and Umesh return as reel-life couple Jui and Saket.

Directed by Varun Narvekar, "Aani Kay Hava?" is a slice-of-life drama which chronicles the incidents in the lives of a couple.

Priya said when two people are so closely connected, the chemistry is bound to reflect on camera.

"Once you go on set with that, the only advantage is that it's very comforting to know the other person is going to enhance your performance and give you that space," the actor told PTI in an interview.

Priya said the only thing the couple was conscious about in the first season something which they paid attention to in the new chapter as well was not encroaching upon an actor's private space while performing.

"Because we are husband-wife and also actors, there is a chance that we probably would like to correct each other out of a good space so that the other person performs better.

"But what if we start correcting each other on set? We didn't want to do that and respect the professional space of each other as actors. It was an unspoken decision. We went on set and this naturally happened."
"That can happen because you might feel 'this person isn't only an actor but my partner' so even with good intentions, you might just cross that line and hurt the person because in that moment, he's a professional and not your partner."
