Pooja live session was so good. She is such fun person. Such a great orator And got to know so much about behind the scenes. All the hard work that entire cast and crew put together 👏🤗
Sid T started his work on Mahabharata in 2009. It took 5 long years before the show went air. Many casting were Changed in due time.
Riya - gandhari was 17 and dritrashtra was 20 when they started shooting for Mahabharata.
Pooja and Saurabh had the most questions to ask on sets. 😆
Saurabh was one of the first to get cast and he is with team right from the beginning.
It took them 2 years and many auditions before they got their perfect drapaudi in pooja.
Drapaudi s entry sequence where she is descends down the stairs was difficult to shoot as pooja had this habit of looking down at the stairs while descending so it took many takes to get the perfect shot.
The Orange peel story was narrated. 😆.
Drapaudi and duryodhan travelled to umergaon together first time when they went there.
Ahem had certain reservation about the vh sequence and his dialogue it too sidharath sir an hour to convince him about his dialogue.
Pooja use to tease yudhishtra on sets about betting her and arjuna about mitti pran
The hand movements and eye movements of shakuni was praneet s brainchild.
They talked about bheem drapaudi s long eye lock sequence and dushashan vadh how good saurav was in that scene.
All the actors were emotional on sets during vh.saheer cried. Nirbhaya was very gentle with pooja throughout the sequence. Pooja told about how she was constantly punching him throughout the sequence 😆
Pooja did the entire vh sequence in just two takes with all her dialogues 👏
Sidharath tewary s favourite is krishna.
And the men getting disrobed was arav(bhism) s idea.
