These Revelations of Chitrangadha Singh will stun you

Kushan’s idea of me ‘Humping’ on Nawaz

"The director Kushan said that I should do it bindaas. What is a bindaas woman? One who wears a petticoat and jumps on a man? Kushan argued that my character in the film is that of a poor woman who goes a tad wild. Does being wild mean that she will start humping her man every time she sees him? I surely couldn’t have been doing that again and again and again."

I decided to quit

“Nawaz called me when I was headed to the airport. He asked me to return. And do you know what I told him? Speak to Kushan and if he sees my viewpoint, I am still 30 minutes away from the airport and ready to come back. But Kushan did not revert and I only told him one thing, “You must make a film that you want to make. You are the director. Please go ahead and put your vision on celluloid."

Not seductive?

“I did say that we should do away with one button in my blouse and use a pin instead, but that was simply because I was playing a very poor woman in the film. I only wanted my attire to look authentic. It was a creative conversation that we were having with each other. I was not doing it to look seductive.”

less acting, more kissing?

“We had already shot a montage where Kushan wanted me to do something similar. Nawaz and I had also kissed in that montage, and now Kushan wanted a 7-second kiss in the intimate scene. Even Nawaz told him ‘Kiss kiya toh hai, ab kya chahiye Kushan?’ Kiran interfered and I turned around to tell her: Who are you to explain my scene to me?”

The Controversial Sex Scene

"We finished the shot and Kushan said that he didn’t like it. He wanted me to lie on top of Nawaz. Now let me tell you that I was wearing a petticoat for that scene. I turned around to tell Kushan about my predicament. I told him: ‘Ho toh gaya. Kyun kar raha hai aise? Please try to understand that I am wearing a petticoat. But, he was in no mood to listen and we ended up having a big, loud argument. And wait till you hear this! A few minutes later he went and told Nawaz that we had shot the intimate scene very well!! Can you beat that?"
