Too hot to handle?

After the passionate love-making sequence between Rohit Roy and Sangeeta Ghosh in Star's Viraasat, we now have a seductive dance number coming up in Dulhan Banoo Main Teri on Zee. The scene takes off with Mahua (Himanshi Chaudhary) reading a magazine, looking for tips to seduce her husband Kartik (Faisal Raza Khan), who is not interested in her. Mahua is a simple girl who dotes on her husband. She craves for a child while Kartik has his own plans.
Faisal says, "Initially, I felt very shy and uncomfortable for I had to get really close to Himanshi. There were moments where we had to get really intimate and she had to push me on to the bed. It was a difficult track and we had no choreographer. We simply followed the instructions of the director. I must admit Himanshi did a wonderful job ala Priyanka Chopra in Aitraaz. We even used the same track, 'Touch me baby, kiss me baby' from the film. There were several retakes and the shoot continued for three days until we were perfect." The song will be aired on Thursday.
The actors had a tough time getting the moves right, especially during the closer shots. Says a channel spokesperson, "This was the first time we tried to do something different. We used soft lights besides the usual candles to create the romantic aura. Himanshi had to wear a sari, and not being used to it, she stumbled several times. She even broke an expensive vase and hurt herself with a candle stand. Faisal was very uncomfortable too." When asked about this, Himanshi tries to be diplomatic.
"I am a trained dancer, so it was expected that I perform well. Faisal was a bit nervous, but everything fell into place after a few rehearsals. Going by the script, I was supposed to 'act' clumsy. But I actually fell down. Fortunately, I only got a few scratches," she says. When asked if this seductive act will bring about a change in their relationship, Faisal says, "I really wonder why I am supposed to go after other women in the serial when I have such a beautiful wife at home! As far as Kartik's relationship with Mahua is concerned, I think they will take some time to come together. Now, how successful her seduction will be, only time can tell!"
