While the on-screen drama promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, the behind-the-scenes effort to make this transformation from beautiful ladies to rugged men was nothing short of amazing. From sticking on realistic facial hair that had to survive a 12-hour shoot to carrying turbans and padding, the challenge was real.
Describing the struggles and fun they had while getting ready and shooting for this fun sequence, Aishwarya said that it took immense patience to get everything in place. The actress said, “It was madness — but the fun kind! The first time we saw each other in full look, we just couldn’t stop laughing. It took immense patience getting the beard glued on properly, adjusting the turban just right, and staying in that get-up for over 12 hours. But once we slipped into character, we were all in. We even tried mimicking how men walk and talk — the crew had a blast watching us practice our ‘manly’ walks between takes!" reported the Times of India.
“As actors, it’s always exciting to break out of your comfort zone and try something completely different. Getting into this quirky disguise gave us a chance to explore a whole new layer of performance. It was challenging — but that’s what made it so much fun. Honestly, it’s shoots like these that remind you why you love doing what you do," she added.
Bhagya Lakshmi, featuring Rohit Suchanti and Aishwarya Khare, aired the inaugural episode on August 3. The show quickly climbed the TRP charts, earning a spot in the top 10 within just a few weeks.
