Actress Chitrangada Singh, who walked out of Babumoshai Bandookbaaz citing harassment, has finally opened up about her traumatic experiences on the sets... to a leading gossip site.
While talking about her 'traumatic experience on the sets' to the site, she said “We finished an intimate shot and Kushan (director Kushan Nandy) said that he didn't like it. He wanted me to lie on top of Nawaz. Now let me tell you that I was wearing a petticoat for that scene. I turned around to tell Kushan about my predicament. I told him: 'Ho toh gaya. Kyun kar raha hai aise? Please try to understand that I am wearing a petticoat. But, he was in no mood to listen and we ended up having a big, loud argument.”
She added, “And wait till you hear this! A few minutes later he went and told Nawaz that we had shot the intimate scene very well!! Can you beat that?”
When the gossip site prodded her further, she shot back at the director by stating, “Kushan argued that my character in the film is that of a poor woman who goes a tad wild. Does being wild mean that she will start humping her man every time she sees him?”
Apparently the makers wanted her to kiss her co-star Nawazudding Siddiqui in a rather passionate manner. The actress said, “Kushan wanted a 7-second kiss in the intimate scene. Even Nawaz told him 'Kiss kiya toh hai, ab kya chahiye Kushan?'”
Chitrangada had an issue with Kushan’s business partner Kiran Shroff, who is said to have interfered in every aspect of the movie. While commenting on Kiran, Singh said, “That woman (Kiran) decided almost everything on the set, even the nose ring that I wore. She takes the final call on clothes too. She interfered in the intimate scene and said that she wants a long smooch between Nawaz and me. I couldn't take it lying down and I questioned them that who's the director: Kushan or Kiran? Kushan became embarrassed and asked her to leave. She is mighty pissed with me, I guess.”
With the leading lady walking out of the movie, the flick’s fate remains a mystery. Will the actress be replaced? Will her Bollywood colleagues stand up for her? Will the director and his business partner be pulled up for alleged inappropriate behaviour? Keep watching this space to know more…
