Did You Know Madhuri Dixit Cried And Refused To Perform Molestation Scene In Prem Pratigya?
Acting is also a tough job!
If you think being an actor is the easiest job on planet earth, then allow us to burst that bubble, because it definitely is not. Why? Because as actors, there are so many things that people have to do as a part of their job. Something similar happened on the sets of the 1989 film–Prem Pratigya. Recalling an incident from the sets, veteran actor and popular villain in films–Ranjeet revealed the time Madhuri Dixit refused to perform a molestation scene for the film.
Speaking about the same, Ranjeet revealed to a news portal that during the filming of Prem Pratigya, he was waiting on the sets for Madhuri to arrive, ahead of the molestation scene. But nobody told her that she cried and nearly refused to perform in the film. Defending the nature of the job, he mentioned that as actors, such scenes are often needed for the script, and are an integral part of their job. Citing a few more examples, he said that back in the day, actors were comfortable around each other, and said–” I would tell my co-stars, ‘darling thoda udhar muh karo mai change kar leta hu.’ I was not even used to going to the makeup room. Very normal and all that. I was accepted like that; otherwise, they would say I’m fake.”

Ranjeet also mentioned the technicalities of the scenes and how they are manufactured in a way to makes the actors comfortable. He said that often he would improvise and direct such scenes, allowing the actors to pull his hair or scratch his face. While Madhuri Dixit finally agreed to shoot the scene, we can’t imagine the amount of trauma she had to go through to say yes.
