Shruti Sharma, known for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series Heeramandi, recently opened up about her experience filming an intimate scene with co-star Rajat Kaul. In an interview with Entertainment Live, she revealed that the challenging scene took a full day to shoot and even resulted in body rashes. Sharma described the choreography as demanding due to the close physical contact between the actors.
It was a new experience for Sharma
Sharma said, "That type of romance I had done for the first time on the screen. We were rolling and we were talking, and you know it was difficult choreography, we were on top of each other." "I got rashes on my body because it was so harsh. I think we shot that scene for on whole day and when that scene got over, my kajal was smudged because there was dust and dirt. But the scene looks so beautiful."
