Rani Mukerji recalls shooting song near well full of snakes and scorpions
During an old interview with Radio Nasha, Rani recalled her experience of shooting the popular track 'Dhadak Dhadak' from her blockbuster film 'Bunty Aur Babli', near a well full of scorpions and snakes.
In the clip doing the rounds on social media, Rani can be seen recalling the incident as her 'Bunty Aur Babli 2' co-star Sharvari Wagh sits beside her.
Rani says, "I was waiting in the van from one in the morning till three, and I was wondering why Vaibhavi and Shaad are not calling me for the shot. So, I was ready with the ghaghra and all, extremely tired because I had shot from 7 in the morning. I was waiting in the van and I was like what's going on. They finally called me and there was a place where they shot a particular sequence, it was a well I don't know in the middle of where. I don't have memory of where they have taken me for that shoot in the lanes of Banaras."
She continued, "I went and shot there and I was very upset with Shaad because there has to be some level of a shift. I went and shot and after I came out, I saw that Vaibhavi's face was completely white. I was wondering if she is also upset with Shaad. She was like, 'you know what babes, there were scorpions and snakes in that place where you shot.' I was like What? Why didn't you guys tell me? Then she said because Shaad is mad, he wanted to take a shot here only and it took us three hours to clean the place so that nothing comes up to you when you shoot in that place."
