Varanasi (UP), Nov. 14 (ANI): Indian film actors thrive in controversial situations and Bollywood actor Rani Mukherjee has courted one such hullabaloo during a film shoot here. While Rani was shooting for her film "Chudiyan" under the banner of Yashraj productions, on Monday, her bodyguards got involved in a scuffle with mediapersons. A day after, she apologised and sought a similar reaction from the media if it was at fault. "On behalf of my production, I am apologizing to the media if some misbehaviour has happened with the press. And we will also want that the press should also apologize because if they have misbehaved then they should not be reluctant to apologize," Rani told newspersons here. "The Film and Press have a close bond. The point is that we should be subtle and good to each other," she added. The trouble started when some journalists tried to get close to the crewmembers, including Mukherjee and Konkana Sen Sharma, who were shooting on the banks of River Ganges. Media persons allege that the security of the crewmembers roughed them up. "The things should be like, we go out of here after our shoot and give you our interviews and photo shoots, and that's it. What is the point fighting and quarrelling over it? And the fact is that we both are not male actors, we are delicate females, so if you people will create havoc, we surely would not like it," Rani said. Pradeep Sarkar directed "Chudiyan" also stars Abhishek Bachan and Jaya Bachan. (ANI)
