Recently, on Kahaani sets, Saakshi Tanwar's (Parvati) pallu accidentally caught fire while shooting for a sequence. We asked some telly-actresses how difficult it is to deal with such fire sequences which are wrought with risk.
Panchi Bora (Prachi, Kayamath)
"It's very scary indeed. We had done a sequence in which I had to save Ayesha (Sanjeeda) from fire. I was very nervous and ended up bruising my hand. Thankfully, our stunt master came to the rescue. But I was petrified for almost a week after that."
Arunima Sharma (Ranoo, Kasamh Se)
"In Kasamh Se I had a scene with Roshni where I am caught in fire. The sequence was so long that my specs started heating up. I was not able to tolerate it and fainted on the sets in spite of precautions taken by the production house. And from that day onwards I have told to them to take extra precaution."
Shubhangi Atre (Kasturi, Kasturi)
"There are many fire sequences in Kasturi and now I'm used to it but earlier I used to be get very scared. I remember one scene where I was getting married to Robbie and the gathbandhan falls into the holy fire. One of my co-actors removed that to avoid anything untoward but she was not able to handle the heat and accidentally put it on my face. It was really horrifying. Now there are stunt masters who take extra precautions after that incident."
Reshmii Ghosh (Bhoomi, Kyunki)
"There was one sequence where, in anger, Bhoomi burns her room but luckily no accident took place. As for the precaution purpose there were fire extinguishers but I was ok."
