I'm not for defying the truth, if there's any truth at all, to what these people have to say. But having seen it for myself, I can call this judgement, a grossly wrong one.
When I watched the on location shoot video of Harshad & Pree, of the chumpy scene, I noticed for the most part, that she gave her shots perfectly. It was actually the other way around, where these two actors kept giving their shots perfectly, it was the director & the rest of the crew members, who were busy taking reshots, because of their own minor distractions & adjustments of the equipments, in use.
The director or the cameraman, during one of the shots, even apologised to her, for not being able to pay attention, towards one shot of her's, because he was distracted, directing a crew member with doing something.
I was infact impressed with the patience, respect & cooperation that Preetika had shown. And I have great respect for this woman, for the same!
P.S - I have great respect for the Director and the rest of the crew of the BI team, as much, since all of them do a flawless job, in terms of what we get onscreen! Thus I shall not believe any of these rumours, which have absolutely no base to it, until such things come out, straight from the Horse's mouth i.e from the Director, here.
