Saumya Tandon recalls ‘slap scene’ with Akshaye Khanna
Taking to her X handle on Sunday, Saumya shared behind-the-scenes details of two of her scenes from Dhurandhar. She wrote, “1. This was my entry scene in the film, and the amount of love it has received has truly overwhelmed me. In this scene, I felt everything at once- anger towards my husband for being the reason behind our son’s death, helpless desperation, and the deep, shared pain between us. And yes, I slapped Akshay once-for real- during his close-up, after Aditya insisted it had to be authentic. I was hoping to cheat, but no such luck. My breakdown close-up was done in a single take (sic).”
Describing the second scene from the movie, Saumya wrote, “2. This was the prayer meeting after my son’s demise. The pain I felt in that moment stayed with me-it came straight from the heart (sic).”
