Neha Bamb

Neha Bamb, aka Maahi in Zee TV's 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 (Mahi Malhotra) are on honeymoon. Apparently, playfully, Vivan has to 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. She made it amply clear she would not wear revealing clothes and the production house couldn't make her do 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 with me but eventually I got to know that I was required to shoot with just a shirt on. The white shirt was really short, just a little below the waistline. 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 get over, I want to get back to wearing saris."

Adds Neha, "This was not all, I was required to wear a revealing night wear 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 and I was content with the alternatives I had."

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. My father had told me that whatever I do, I should not be ashamed of watching myself on screen."
