Anushka Sharma, the Producer and leading actress of NH10, went into depression after her molestation scene in the movie, she confessed:
“I was in depression when I did the scene of being molested in NH10. But at that time, you want it to be real. Especially in films like NH10, where you do not know where the camera is, you have to make it look realistic.”
In the movie, Anushka Sharma’s character was chased down by some goons in Delhi. The goons brutally harassed her, traumatized her, abused her. Anushka Sharma added:
“That time I was fine but I was emotionally very low for the next two days… Being punched, kicked in stomach and all that, I was just thinking how humans can be this way. We aren’t exposed to so much in life other than reading in newspaper. But to shoot such scenes are extremely traumatizing.”
Alia Bhattalso opened up about her experience while shooting for the gang-rape scenes from the movie, Udta Punjab. She said:
“On the set, you want to be like technical about it. ‘Haan you come here, then this happens, then we’ll do that and I’ll scream and…’ So the face is all ‘Yeah, I’m with it, I’m okay with it because I’m acting’. But actually what’s happening inside is ‘I want this scene to get over. I just want this whole thing to get over.”
Alia Bhatt’s powerful performance in the movie, Udta Punjab was widely loved and appreciated. But no one knew that she feared to go on the sets during the time of the filming of these scenes, she said:
“This has never happened to me but I used to dread that walk every day while getting out of my room and I used to love the walk every day when I’d be coming back to my room. Even though I love my work, it was weird to be in such a situation but what was even more weird was to pretend to be cool on set.”
