Sattar phere...
Sapana Patil Poojary
| Aamir Ali and Reena Kapoor go through the ordeal of taking 70-odd phere to shoot the wedding sequence in Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki |
Retakes are a common phenomenon; but imagine shooting a wedding scene that required the actors to take 70-odd pheras instead of the traditional seven.
Aamir Ali and Reena Kapoor (Saumya Parashar and Pari respectively) in Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, were recently shooting for a wedding scene, when the smoke from the sacred wedding fire (havan) played spoilsport.
Aamir says, "We were shooting for the wedding scene at Aakraman studios at Goregaon. Everyone knows how lavish Rajshri weddings are. This one was grand too. We had to perform several wedding rituals.
This was followed by the traditional saat pheres. But there was a lot of smoke around. So much so that our eyes began watering, and we all were reduced to coughing and sneezing continuously. Thus, the shot had to be taken and retaken until all of us got our act together."
Reena adds, "There was so much smoke around that we just couldn't concentrate on the shot. I have smoke allergy, so I couldn't control my sneezing.
The funniest part was that I was supposed to look down and act coy shy. But the moment I bent my head, my nose would run. The unit guys mockingly told me that the next time I get married on the show, they will organise an electric burner for the ceremony."
