Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijio leads Ratan Rajput (Laali) and Abhishek Rawat (Shekhar) who are just back from Nepal after a gruelling shooting schedule share some of their cherished memories.
"Mountain biking is the best way to experience rural Nepal. A bike is just the perfect vehicle for navigating through the narrow streets of the old city. We cycled through Pokhara and mostly met busses and trucks on the narrow mountain road. There are enough places to stay in the villages you pass through. We also stayed in a tree house one day. It was super exciting. The bandh was actually a blessing in disguise".
Later on an Indya source tells us, "Visiting Nepal and not paying homage to Pashupatinath is something unthinkable. When Ratan felt that the Kathmandu trip was unlucky that they probably would not be able to shoot in Pashupatinath, she decided to pay obeisance to the divine her way. Ratan had a crazy fan called Tenzing. This woman used to fly to Pokhara from Katmandu to see the shooting. She flew 4 times at her own cost. Ratan took Tenzing with her one day and flew to Kathmandu for the darshan. She had covered her face totally to avoid attention. However, Ratan's appearance at the temple entrance, where she was stopped for being a foreigner and not allowed in. She was permitted only after she removed the scarf from her face and revealed that she was an Indian."
Later on our source adds, "Sachal and Abhishek had 4 female fans who stalked them wherever they went in Nepal. They would also come down to the far off village where we shot and would wait patiently till we wrapped up for the day. Both these men felt so humbled by their fan following that they went around shopping with them one day and ended up gifting them presents. "
Ratan said that, "I am extremely thankful to Tenzing for her help. She agreed to go shopping with me. The woman was so happy that she forgot that it was her husband's birthday that day."
About the fan following Abhishek Rawat aka Shekhar tells us, "Would you believe that the Nepali artists that we had hired there were actually depressed that we were done with the Nepal schedule. It was an amazing experience to shoot in Nepal. The Nepali folks are such sweet, humble and down to earth people' I pray we go back soon for another schedule..."
