Ashlesha Thakur talks about the kidnapping scene in 'The Family Man'
- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,July 11 2021]
Actress Ashlesha Thakur delivered an amazingly nuanced performance as Manoj Bajpayee's teenage daughter in 'The Family Man' season 2. Dhriti's character arc was quite interesting and the script demanded her to have very emotionally exhausting scenes. One of them was the whole kidnapping sequence.
Yesterday, the actress shared a bunch of behind the scenes photos of that particular scene and shared her experience of filming it. She wrote, This was the hardest part for me, I remember feeling completely numb just 5 minutes before jumping into it and just when @rajanddk @suparnverma said action, I felt more than I’d ever felt before. Bruises, sweat and tears matched with fits of laughter, high fives and lots of hugs. Our incredibly creative and generous cast, crew, outstanding fans -it’s all been beyond anything I could have imagined. The love is real and will keep it growing!
She said in a different statement, It was exhausting and emotionally and mentally challenging for me. Getting kidnapped was something that was making me very nervous. I did not want to do that scene. I was telling Raj and Suparn sir, ‘let’s do it another day’. When I did the first take, I was confused whether I was doing the correct thing. When the directors supported me, I knew I was on the right track.
