One of the biggest films of her career was Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra One, where she played a relatively small role. In a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Shahana opened up about taking on the film primarily because of Shah Rukh Khan, despite knowing that the role would not satisfy her creatively as an actor. ‘I felt like I had shortchanged myself’ Shahana recalled that working with Shah Rukh was a “great experience” and shared that there were some scenes that were shot by Karan Johar, even though Anubhav Sinha was the director of the film. “For me, what matters is the process of doing the film. And I had a great time on the film. We had a lot of fun. Working with Shah Rukh was a great experience. Everybody on set, Kareena …

In a recent interview, actor Shahana Goswami spoke candidly about her experience with open relationships and the misconceptions surrounding them. She told Siddharth Kannan, “At this point, I don’t even have one primary partner like that. I have many people with whom I have long-standing dynamics, but it’s not casual. None of it is casual for me. We all have a lot of friends. Every friendship is different.” Explaining how she views connection and commitment, she added, “So for me, at this point, openness means there’s no clear-cut partnership with anyone, but there is this feeling of long-term bonding and connection that stays with you, no matter what form it takes. Sometimes it’s just friendship. Sometimes it might be physical too.” She also addressed the emotional work involved in such relationships, saying, “Actually, that doesn’t happen. I mean, it’s not like I ghost people, but this just doesn’t happen. Because I also know the thing is, when you’re this free, you know, it’s not like this just comes out of nowhere. It’s not something from …

5 min readHyderabadMay 27, 2026 03:59 PM IST Shahana Goswami has never been the kind of actor who gives careful, managed answers. The same instinct that drew her to morally complex roles in Zwigato and Santosh, seems to follow her into conversations about her own life. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, she spoke with unusual openness about practicing open relationships, and about what people consistently get wrong when they look at how she lives. The conversation started with a fairly loaded assumption, that someone like her, visibly unbothered and seemingly unattached to convention, must simply be wired differently. Goswami pushed back on that immediately. “At this point, I don’t even have one primary partner like that. I have many people with whom I have long-standing dynamics, but it’s not casual. None of it is casual for me. We all have a lot of friends. Every friendship is different.” She further said, “So for me, at this point, openness means there’s no clear-cut partnership with anyone, but there is this feeling of long-term bonding …

The film was also very sweet.” She continued, “After the film, I was obsessed with him. See how destiny played.

It’s a shame that it will not have a theatrical release.” Also Read: Shahana Goswami on Santosh making it to Oscars shortlist: India has every reason to be proud it Santosh, …
