Padmini/pallavi's gulaal allergy..

If you think acting is an easy job then you certainly thought wrong!

Pallavi Purohit who plays Padmini, Madhubala's mother in COLORS' magnum opus, Madhubala… Ek Ishq, Ek Junoon had to endure great difficulty while shooting a Ganpati scene where she is running away from the goons sent by her tyrant husband, Balraj. As a way of disguise from the goons, Padmini who plays a pregnant woman in the first few episodes of the show had to constantly apply gulaal on her face to hide her identity.

According to sources, over the 4 days the incessant application of gulaal initially resulted in irritation, followed by roughness that eventually developed into skin rashes! Pallavi soon realized that she had developed an allergy and after abandoning the shoot, she immediately rushed to seek advice from the doctor.

We contacted Pallavi who told Tellybuzz, " Yes, I was allergic to Gulaal but I had no option but to shoot. Doctor has strictly told me not to apply and I was on medication. But the scenes that I shot have come out really well."
