Surveen Chawla details disturbing casting couch incident with director who crossed the line

<p>Madhavan is getting rave reviews for his role as the motor-mouthed husband and father in Netflix's 'Decoupled'.</p>

<p>Madhavan admits his character is unique. “My character Arya Iyer was a departure from everything I’ve done so far. I don’t think I’ve ever played a &nbsp;character like Arya in 'Decoupled'. His marriage is a wreck and he writes pulp fiction. Actually my character Arya has a lot of me in him. There are so many things he feels and says that I &nbsp;can never do in real life. He's a no-filter guy. He says anything that comes to his mind. He says things that make people uncomfortable. He is the guy you wouldn't want to invite to your parties. And he constantly embarrasses his wife. But &nbsp;a &nbsp;lot &nbsp;of what he says is true.”</p>

<p>Madhavan and 'Decoupled' creator Manu Joseph wanted to show how we've normalized hypocrisy in the urban culture. “It is considered civilized to lie. As a responsible citizen, actor, &nbsp;son, husband and father I've to restrain myself from letting myself go.I know every word that I &nbsp;speak may be held against me. Being a recognizable name I have a certain reach and influence and &nbsp;I have to be constantly alert to the effect of my action and words. But this guy I play in Decoupled has no filters. He says and does whatever he feels.</p>

<p>Decoupled was shot through the pandemic. Madhavan says it was not a &nbsp;pleasant experience.</p>

<p>“Unless you are an actor shooting with a mask on, you wouldn’t understand what it is like. Normally when shooting, actors look at one another and get into the scene.

R Madhavan on 'Decoupled': The no-filter guy I play in the series has a lot of me

<p>Right from the first frame of Hardik Mehta's new web series 'De-coupled', we are told that the lead pair- Arya and Shruti, played by R Madhavan and Surveen Chawla, are headed for a separation.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
They are both successful in their professions. She is a Venture Capitalist while he is a&nbsp;best selling author( second only to Chetan Bhagat, of course). They share a daughter together, Rohini, and live in a plush neighbourhood in Gurgaon. For the outside world, it's a perfect match- or so say the onlookers, but when you dig deeper, you realise there is no love left between the two.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Created and written by journalist Manu Joseph, who is known for his witty take on life, 'Decoupled' is perhaps the most experimental content that Netflix India has produced this year. On the face of it, its a story of a couple on verge of separation and how they and their families come to terms with their 'unique' arrangement. But the dramedy is much more.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Through its protagonist Arya Iyer, the series takes a dig at almost everything. From marriage, love and&nbsp;divorces to the ultra-religious kinds to teenage boys and puberty to even Netflix and Korean hit 'Parasite', the series spares no one. And the story's hero Arya Iyer, a caustic, cynical middle-aged man, is too upfront and obnoxious to be taken seriously and liked. It's a different story that most of Arya's jargon on life are actually true. But he doesn't know how to wrap up the unpleasant truth in the appropriate manner, making almost everyone around him loathe him, including his patient wife Shruti, who only gives steely glares to him through the greater part of this eight-part dramedy.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While the premise is promising and the lead pair is pitch-perfect in their respective roles, the narrative is sketchy. A scene in the middle of the series has one of Arya's filmmaker friend Manav complaining that how Netflix is not happy with of the pitches that he and Arya have made so far. "The jokes just don't land," complains the Netflix executive moments later. Indeed, the jokes just don't land in 'Decoupled' on most occasions. They are outrageous, sometimes slightly cringy but not funny making the viewer wonder where exactly is the story headed.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The couple, through the eight episodes, muddle over how to break the news of their divorce to their daughter and the world at large, and the process seems too stretched and tad repetitive after a point. The makers try to experiment with a concept like a divorce- sprucing it with dry humour- yet succumb to predictability and slapstick in the final episode in an attempt to make it funny. The result is not the best.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
R Madhavan and Surveen Chawla though are very good as Arya and Shruti. Arya is not the man you would want to be friends with. He is too honest for his own good and rather brash. Madhavan, who has played myriad roles in nearly three-decades-long careers, breathes in a certain amount of freshness to his character. Arya is popular but also someone you will easily hate or will be uncomfortable around. It's a delight to watch Maddy play a character that one wouldn't immediately associate the actor with - considering the do-gooder roles that he has played for years. It's a delight to watch R Madhavan as the politically incorrect Arya Iyer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Matching him with her ice-cold glares is actress Surveen Chawla, who makes her character Shruti a stark contrast to Arya. You empathise with her at one time but also get confused at other times. Chawla over the years has made her niche in the film industry by carefully picking her roles. 'Decoupled' gives her ample opportunity to prove her mettle and she doesn't disappoint.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The supporting cast comprising of Akaash Khurana, Apara Mehta, Atul Kumar, Mir Afsar Ali and Aseem Hattangady are equally good.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
In the end, 'Decoupled' meanders and mulls over the same issues too much and never reaches the climactic peak that it deserves. It is watchable only for its cast. Definitely not for its wry take on marriage, love, divorce and the paraphernalia that comes along with it.&nbsp;<br />

'Decoupled' review: R Madhavan and Surveen Chawla shine in a usual story of marriage

<p>Ever since news of Surveen Chawla getting <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-surveen-chawla-shares-more-photos-of-her-wedding-reveals-why-she-kept-it-a-secret-27977">married </a>came a couple of months back last year, it has been reported that the actress is more likely to shy from essaying bold characters on screen (remember<em>&nbsp;Hate Story 2?</em>).&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Quashing those rumours, Surveen speaking about her life post-marriage told a leading daily that it has “in fact, gotten only better”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reacting to people’s shock at her getting married, Surveen said, "Why does it shock people that I got married? Those days are gone when an actress would achieve her professional goals first and then get married. Many actresses achieve great professional heights even after marriage now. Just because I was perceived as a go-getter and an ambitious person, it did not mean that I had no intention of getting married if I found the right guy.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>She continued, “Marriage and career are not interrelated and people should understand that. Just like any professional woman who continues to work after her marriage, an actress should not wait when she finds the right guy."</p>

<p>Surveen also added that she shares an understanding relationship with her husband who is supportive of her career. She said, "I had gone through many ups and downs in my relationships, so I was quite reluctant to get married until I was doubly sure of the person. Besides, it is also a question of hormones, so it is only right that you get married at the right age.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She added, "I could kiss my co-actor or even go nude on screen, I can do whatever the script demands in a film and my husband will not say anything about it. That’s the kind of understanding I have with him. When I have this kind of comfort level with him, why would I wait to get married? My husband is supportive of my work and I got a companion for life, what more can a woman ask for?"</p>


Surveen proved herself as an actress as she took upon 'Parched' after donning a bold avatar in 'Hate Story 2'.

Ever since news of Surveen Chawla getting married came a couple of months back last year, it has been reported that the actress is more likely to shy from essaying bold characters on screen (remember Hate Story 2?).

Surveen Chawla: I could kiss a co-actor or go nude, my husband won't say anything

<p>Just a day after Surveen Chawla revealed to the world that <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/hate-story-2-actress-surveen-chawla-marries-in-a-secret-ceremony-shares-photo-27848">she is married</a>, the actress shared some more photos of her secret wedding on her Instagram page.

<p>What made her keep her wedding a secret? Surveen said that she did not reveal her marital status because she felt it would affect her career. Speaking to <a href="https://www.pinkvilla.com/tv/news-gossip/surveen-chawla-tying-knot-2015-it-was-personal-choice-not-talk-about-marriage-394468">Pinkvilla</a>, Surveen said, &quot;I soon crossed that bridge and realised that a talented actor will shine irrespective of her marital status.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;It was a personal choice to not talk about the marriage. We wanted to break the news just before our Indian wedding, which was scheduled to take place this month. However, we had to postpone it to 2018, following a loss in the family,&quot; Surveen added.</p>
