The first thing which I notice is huge set with more 50 people presence during shooting and first thing which they asked me to do was to put my mobile in silent mode. No flash in the camera as it would effect the shooting.
udibaba's fav shiv murti
The whole hall looks like this
This is udi baba's room, but this room also get converted to rama's, meeta and navya room".
This is the famous staircase... which goes to anant room,... but the funny part is that anant room is not present their.. its actually loacated in the ground floor
During shooting, whole set is surrounded by this huge AC pipe'. Which are trying to cool down the set atmosphere.. its so much spread that it's very difficult to walk'..
Shooting the scene:
The shooting part was very difficult to shoot one scene it takes soo many retakes'. When I entered there was scene where bua dadi and nimisha mother in law was talking sitting on the dining table about navya marriage'.. there were soo many retakes and funny part was that they was saying the line'. thinking people are sitting in the other side of the table'. It was more close up and one person looks like script writer was saying the lines'. And make them repeat the line . The bua dadi was confident ' but still she also took many retakes. Nimisha mother in law was soo confused with the dialogue that she took soo many retakes'..
There are full of high voltage light around the actor, so after each retake he was actors were doing the touch up'. Which you can see in the above pictures' well' the person in black shirt is giving continus instruction.. like imagine your are looking at the someperson and getting angry and then you have to look that side to give the angry look. Actors have to imagine that some person is coming or sitting inforont of them,'.. They edit 2 scene together which i observed after seeing today's episode...
Navya
I was busy seeing the scene of bua dadi' and suddenly from far a pretty slim lady came along with 2 other girl'. and to my surprise she was Soumya aka navya wearing yesterday's dresss'.. she was accompanied by her sister prakrti and other girl. Intially she got irrited to reshoot the scene '.. and then she went ahead to the scene' where she is plating food the people'. She was putting plates and roti in the dinner table'. But nobody was there'. She took 10 min to shoot the closeup and funny thing was that one person was giving her instruction to look that and you see anant coming and smile'.. that was her whole shoot'.
Soumya with her sister
When this scene shooting was going on'. then imagine whom I saw... 2 best friend ( baba and om)
Baba was taking round as after om scene .. it was his' then om went there under the light and gave a wide angle shoot''
Nimisha
She was really looking beautiful in the saree' I found her to be really very very beautiful.. when she came in.. she was joking with the crew and then she was asked to give a wide shoot on the dinner table while standing'.. but here also the condition was same'. The scene took 10-15 min to shoot and after 1 min' hair dresser was putting makeup and making her pallu correct
Director and Direction crew
There were sitting near the shooting area and was continusaly observaing under the moniter and was giving instruction on mike to turn the cameraman and actors.
If sound is not properly recored ' then redub the dialogue there with mike'..
Meeting the actors:
I meet Deepak and anant chacha' they were sitting and chatting as set abhi laga nahi tha ' I told him about all the IF fans and how many fans they have across soo many countries' he was very happy to know that and he told he will visit navya forum '.
Aayush: He was really really sweet and very humble human being'. Loved him more as a person'.He said that he knows about IF and sometimes do visit there '
Meeta : I used to like her before'. But after meeting her I realy liked her more'. She is very very humble and down to earth person' I couldn't take her pictures as she was doing her hair set up and she requested not to take picture at that moment'. she was looking very slim' but on screen she looked a bitt heavy' but offscreen she was looking soo young and beautiful'..
I did shared how much we IF people adore and love her role in the serial' and how her potray of meeta is soo soo close to our mom' she was sooo surprised to know about our forum'. She told that it will be really good for her to know about the people thoughts about her acting'
She said' IF will be a great platform for her to connect with her fan and she was also surprised to know about the fans from different parts of thw world' she was really thrilled and mine conversation with her actually continued for 20 min''.
Now the most awaited moment'. We all IF members have been waiting!!!
Shaheer and Soumya
I found shaheer and soumya sitting on the staircase and talking with rohit ( Mohan). When I went to meet them'.. my heart was beating very fast.. for 30 sec'. I was completely blank' dint know what to talk and what not to say' I couldn't earlier see shaheer as his face was behind rohit back'.. but when rohit turned I could see both shaheer and soumya.
Soumya : She has a good photogenic face' but she look prettier onscreen than offscreen' her face is generally is very small and has applied a thick quote of make-up' even her eyes where looking small.. but when I clicked the pictures her face suddenly lighten up'.
Shaheer : when I said IF'. Intailly he thought I am a journalist'.heheh' but soon he realized that' and he try to hide his face behind navya and I laughed and he tried to make the moment lighter'..But his face is actually round and when clicked its came oval'. But his voice is really manly'.. with a calm and compose in his voice'.. Navya dint talk anything' but shaheer was speaking' I told him about our forum and '''.. he said yes he knows about this forum and he do visit some time' I explained him' about navya fan base across all countries and how they are crazy for him' I also said.. that I wanted to show him sometimes.. which all fans sent.. but I missed placed while coming..( sorry guys)'. But did convey your messges'
Shaheer said he do give update on twitter' but going forward he will visit IF more often( as I told him.. we write what we like and we don't like, blopper)' its would help them to connect with fan base more'. He said' He knows abt it and he will do visit more often'.. But soumya was just listening and smiling'. dint said any word' when I said people love to see your pictures together and aske for a pictures' he said' sure why not' abhi looo
Sooo here is the most awaited offscreen pictures'. For all of you...
Some interesting fact about navya set :
Meeta & Dadi is very much respected in the navya set because of her nature
Dadi has a acting class which she runs when not working
They continuslly drink tea all the time
People call each other with the screen character and as when I asked one production people about the actors real name' they said madam tell me their serial name' we call them by that
Shaheer and Rohit share room
Navya and dadi share room at that day
Most times scens are shoot without the presence of other actor and later the scensa are ediited
