Been slapped on screen?
Yes, I've been slapped once.
Kisne mara? Aur kyun?
Tulsi (Smriti Irani), she is the slapping queen. She's slapped everyone on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She slapped me when she found out that Sahil (Amit Sareen) and I have a relationship when I was already married to Gautam (Sumeet Sachdev).
Chaanta laga? On scale of 1 to 10?
It was a nice tight one. 8/10 to Smriti. She has a Dharam paji hand. It was with full momentum and I could feel the stinging pain.

Rohini Hattangadi when I played Rohini's daughter in Kya Haadsa Kya Haqeeqat. She slapped me as I was hiding something from her.

Well, It wasn't that bad, 'cause it was in the air. But, I was sweating and I was like, baap re, Rohini is going to slap me. (she chuckles) It wasn't even a real one. So I would rate it 1/10.

Yeah, several times.
Kisne mara? Aur kyun?

Chaanta laga? On scale of 1 to 10?
Once somebody slapped me real bad to portray that I can't act. It left an impression on my face. I don't think I want to rate it.
