Resident evil: A scene shot in the said courtyard

The cursed corner?

According to a Feng Shui expert, the courtyard on the sets of Betiyann gives off negative vibes, and should be avoided while shooting

If you ever make a trip to sets of Betiyann, you'd do well to keep away from the courtyard. For if unit members and artistes of the show are to be believed, there's something sinister about the area and everything that's shot there goes wrong.

It was Feng Shui expert Master Charuhas Naik who first pointed this out to the unit. Producer Dheeraj Kumar who was producing his biggest show to date wanted to make sure the set had the right vibrations and had thus invited Naik. Naik pointed out to the courtyard, declaring, "This place gives off negative vibes. It's jinxed."

A few days later a metal vase fell on the glass table placed there and the table broke. Next, two electricians who were working with the lights in the courtyard fell from the ladder and received minor injuries.

Lead actress of Betiyann, Twinkle, says, "Everyone is aware there's something strange about that corner and we have decided to make certain changes as per Mr. Naik's plans, in that region."

Incidentally, the promo of the show too was supposed to be shot in the courtyard. But someone from the unit suggested that they should avoid shooting there as it's jinxed. Actress Twinkle says, "Recently, one of my colleagues sat on the swing in the courtyard. It was strong enough to support the weight of the four women protagonists. But it gave way and she fell on the floor!"

When the swing was replaced with a glass table that too developed a crack. Twinkle, however, tries to rationalise that it was the spot boy's fault as he placed a heavy light on it. Having said that, she adds, "We try not to shoot there. Things like the table and the fan can be replaced but we don't want actors to be replaced at this point when the show has just gone on air."
