When Neha Bamb Lost Her Nerve - Article

Asked to repeatedly wear revealing outfits in a serial, actress Neha Bamb put her foot down and wore decent dresses she felt more comfortable in.

Neha Bamb, aka Maahi in the serial Maayka, is currently shooting for a 10-day-honeymoon sequence. Here, she was asked to wear a flimsy shirt for a particular sequence. Later, she was also asked to wear revealing nightwear and a very short skirt for other scenes.

In the sequence, Vivan (Shabd) and Neha Bamb (Maahi Malhotra) are on honeymoon. Apparently, Vivan has to playfully throw ice inside Neha's kurta . And Neha has to run into the bathroom and emerge wearing only a shirt. Well, the story goes that Neha bluntly refused to dress so.

Says Neha, "When the costume designer got me the shirt, I was wondering where the lower half of the attire was! I thought the designer was joking, but eventually I found out that I was required to shoot with just a shirt on. I could not imagine myself shooting like that, that too for a television show! The entire unit was present there for the honeymoon sequence. Eventually, I wore a knee-length satin bathrobe. I am waiting for this honeymoon sequence to end. I want to get back to wearing sarees."

Adds Neha, "This was not all. I was required to wear revealing nightwear with a plunging neckline. I refused outright. Finally, I was also asked to wear a very short skirt which again I had to refuse. Instead, I got my own knee-length dress. I did not want to be difficult for the production house, but I must say it looked presentable."

She adds, "I have my limitations and I am very reasonable with my demands. If I am uncomfortable doing something on screen, I will not do it. My father had told me that whatever I do, I should not be ashamed of watching myself on screen."
