Shalini Pandey Speaks About Doing Charan Seva Scene
In the ‘charan seva’ scene, Shalini’s character is offered to the Maharaja (played by Jaideep Ahlawat) for sexual favours. Discussing the scene’s impact, she revealed, “When I read it, of course, you think about it, feel about it. Also, I’m somebody who is very sensitive. That’s why I stay away from certain things. I don’t use Instagram.”
The actress continued, “I wouldn’t say I get easily hurt, but I am very sensitive to things happening around me. I even stopped reading newspapers because negativity can affect me. Interestingly, when I actually did the scene with the Maharaj, I didn’t realise what impact it had on me. I finished filming and I told my team I don’t want to be in a closed room. I need time. I need some fresh air. I’m getting a little anxious.”
Pandey’s experience highlights the emotional toll actors can face when portraying characters experiencing trauma. “I realised that when you feel it, is when you realise how bad this is,” she asserted.
Speaking of the film, starring Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari, and Shalini Pandey, the movie was earlier scheduled to be released on Netflix on June 14.
