Kriti Sanon on taxing climax on Tere Ishk Mein
Actress Kriti Sanon revealed how shooting for the pre-climax and climax scenes for Tere Ishk Mein was both physically and emotionally draining. Kriti said, “Mutki’s character has a very diverse graph, what she starts from, what she ends up becoming, her choices, her decisions.. there are a lot of layers to what she is doing. A lot is sometimes not said, a lot of justification, a lot of things why she is doing what she is, not said in words.”
“There is no dialogue at times to help you and it just has to be translated in your eyes. That was something new and I really enjoyed it.”
She added, “There are a lot of really intense scenes, the pre climax and the climax, which are very very long. That was very draining and we shot it for about 5-6 days. Both physically and emotionally those scenes were extremely draining.”
Kriti said that she could feel the low energy in everyone around on set and could even feel it in her vanity with her team.
“At times when I went back home it stayed with me, I felt extremely drained. That scene is the peak of emotions and probably the most intense bit of the film, and it pulled me down the most,” added the actress.
