Water woes for Shruti

Jan 13, 2011 - Joginder Tuteja

What could have been just another shoot on the beach turned out to be overtly exciting for Shruti Hassan when she landed in Pattaya to film a song sequence for her next film Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji. Not just was her ride to the location adventure-filled, even her stint at the beach had its own rough moments. It all began with an interesting boat ride to the location in Pattaya.

“While we were on our way, it began to pour and since it was a water trip we couldn’t help but get thoroughly drenched,” recalls the actress. And the return journey didn’t spare any horrors either, with a turbulent sea. “At that moment you feel like throwing up,” says Shruti, adding, “Today, in retrospect it seems exciting but at that time it was way too uncomfortable.” And thanks to the bumpy ride, the shooting on location wasn’t a very pleasant experience for her either. “The high tide was hitting me real hard,” says Shruti, who was shooting a song with co-star Emraan Hashmi. “I didn’t realise how strong these waves could be till I was standing in the middle of them, trying my level best to stay still. And since the tides were unrelenting, I feared I would be knocked over and pulled under. It was one wet experience for sure,” she says. Well, as long as director Madhur Bhandarkar got his perfect shot, no one would have really complained. Right guys?
