Piya collects fine
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,April 20 2010]
Piya Bajpai adopted a novel way on the sets of ÂBale Pandiya to prevent the crew members from making fun at her Tamil accent. The actress collected fine from those who either giggled or smiled after seeing her uttering Tamil dialogues.
ÂThough I requested the director and other crew members not to laugh at my Tamil pronunciation as I was still learning the language, I could hear giggles and smiles when I stood in front of the camera. Hence the decision, she says.
ÂTo stop others from making fun of me, I collected Rs.50 per head every time they did so. The director (Siddharth) would say in a lighter vein that the fine amount I collected was more than my salary, the actress recalls.
Claiming the film as a laugh-riot, the ÂAegan and ÂGoa actress says the role she played in the movie would be a memorable one forever. ÂI would like to thank my producer Kalpathi S Agoram, director and other colleagues, she says.
