‘Alia Bhatt was sick one day, but she still gave her take like a pro,’ reveals Darlings director Jasmeet K Reen

Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma and Roshan Matthew starrer Darlings released recently and it has received a great response. Alia Bhatt has once again delivered a terrific and memorable performance. Recently, Darlings’ director Jasmeet K Reen recalled how Alia was not well during the filming of one crucial scene but gave a performance that made everyone on the sets clap.

In one scene of the film, Badru (played by Alia) calls her mother to her home, and reveals she has finally tied up her husband (Vijay Varma). The actress says, “Fielding bahut ho gai hai ammi. Ab batting chalu,” before hitting Hamza’s head with a pan.

Recalling the day they shot the scene, Jasmeet told BollywoodLife, “Alia was ill one day, but she still came for the shoot. I remember meeting her, she looked unwell and that day she had an almost one-page dialogue to deliver. I asked if she’ll be ok and she said she would. We rolled the camera and she gave her take like a pro, which I love, but something beautiful happened that day.”

She added, “The entire set stood and clapped, not because she was unwell, but because they loved what she did. Alia is a positive person, looks at the job at hand, and lives in the moment. Her commitment is very inspiring and infectious. Our shoots were filled with positive energy, laughter, and a lot of pranks. Lots of birthday celebrations and cake cutting too. This shot however is one of my personal favourites, it is a fun scene but it symbolises how a daughter is becoming like her mother.”

Darlings also stars Rajesh Sharma and Kiran Karmakar in key roles.
