Mumbai, Sep 3 (NationPress) Actress Shweta Tiwari disclosed that there was a pivotal moment during the filming of “Do You Wanna Partner” when she had to perform a scene that involved strong language, and she found herself trembling as she did so.
Embodying the character of Laila in the forthcoming series brought challenges that Shweta had never encountered before. During the shoot, a specific scene tested her limits, demanding that she unleash a full-throated “gaali”, which was crucial for the authenticity of her role.
Shweta recounted, “There was a point when I had to deliver a scene with strong language — I had to use a proper 'gaali’ — and honestly, I was shaking. I just couldn’t bring myself to say it. I kept trying, but somehow it just wouldn’t come out.”
Her co-star Tamannaah Bhatia stepped in to support her, helping to push her through the moment.
“That’s when Tamannaah came to my aid. She held my hand and started shouting the word with me, encouraging me to let go and embrace the scene. She kept saying, ‘Say it, ma’am, say it!’ She didn’t have to do that, but she did — and that moment of genuine support and sisterhood is something I’ll always cherish. It was incredibly special for me,” she expressed.
