Amrita Rao,
Shahid Kapoor and Shenaz Treasury won hearts of one and all in their film, ‘
Ishq Vishk’. The film remains one of the most loved films of their fans to date. In a recent interview with Zoom Digital,
Amrita Rao opened up about her fond memories associated with the film.
Talking about the iconic slap scene in the film where she had to slap Shahid Kapoor, Amrita reportedly revealed that it was a very difficult sequence to shoot and it was just before the interval when Rajiv (Shahid’s character) and Payal (Amrita’s character) had a fight and then at the end of the sequence, she had to slap him.
She added that the director wanted it to be very realistic.
Elaborating further about the same, Amrita reportedly said Shahid's mother,
Neelima Azim ji would hang out with them during the shoot and since she had no formal training in acting, she used to give a lot of tips. She added that she would motivate her and it was very encouraging. Finally, the director got the reaction he needed from Shahid and everybody was relieved.
Talking about her journey in
Bollywood so far, she said that the minute she came into the industry, she was the talk of the town. She added that people genuinely accepted her and her talent and that was a wonderful feeling. She, however, asserted that at the time, not too many co-stars of her age were present in the industry.
