The moves looked quite intimate to me. Tears filled my eyes, and I was so young at the time. My pulse was pounding as I left the stage because I truly didn’t want to take those pictures.

“I went in and told my hairdresser that I couldn’t do those shots, and I started crying,” the woman continued. I informed Shashi Kapoor that I couldn’t perform those sequences, but he was like, “What’s wrong with you?” and then, “Why, when you became an actress, didn’t you realise.

this when you told your mother you want to become an actress, stupid girl?” before leaving. Suddenly, there was a loud knocking at the door. I whispered to my hairstylist, “How mean is he?” as I glanced at him. Observe how he is conversing with me. When I returned to the set after thirty minutes, all of his movements had been altered. He was the type of person described above.”
