Sonali Kulkarni on shooting ‘bedroom scene’ with Sanjay Dutt

In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Sonali said, “There was a scene which everyone called ‘bedroom scene’. It wasn’t needed to be named that at all but that’s what people used to call it back then. The hairdresser, after my costume change, suddenly asked me, ‘You have waxed right?’ I was shocked, nervous, said maybe, yes. I was wearing a gown, and I got so nervous! I took my position and I was just not able to concentrate. My lips were quivering, hands were trembling!”

Sonali recalled how Sanjay noticed her nervousness and stepped in to calm her down. He reassured her by saying, “Ismein na, pappi bhi nahi hai, bas do dialogue hai, aur hug karna hai (this scene doesn’t even have a peck, just two lines and then a hug). I am nervous, now if even you get nervous like this, then the scene just won’t happen, beta. So just relax.” The actress added with a smile, “He is too cute!” Sanjay’s friendly and light-hearted approach helped Sonali feel comfortable, helping her to complete the scene without thinking much about it.

Besides Mission Kashmir, Sonali Kulkarni has been widely recognised for her diverse roles, including her role in Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai. Recently, she appeared in Love, Sitara, starring Sobhita Dhulipala.

On her milestone birthday, we extend our warmest wishes to this talented actress for a year filled with happiness and prosperity. Stay tuned for more updates!
