Actress Janki Bodiwala opens up over her ‘pee’ scene in ‘Shaitaan’
Janki Bodiwala, ‘Shaitaan’ fame actress opens up on Vash director having asked her to pee for real in scene. She agreed to this, said yes because of that’
Actress Janki Bodiwala who acted in the Gujarati horror film ‘Vash’, remade in Hindi as Shaitaan, revealed something surprising about the filming. She went to reveal about the Gujarati horror film Vash. In a roundtable discussion with Filmfare, she revealed that Vash director Krishnadev Yagnik asked her if she could urinate for real in a key scene from the film.
Janki spoke of the scene where her possessed character Aarya urinates herself in a moment of distress to stop her father from making a situation worse. Talking about the scene, she revealed that the director of Vash asked her if she would urinate for real, she did the Gujarati version, and had the same scene to perform there. While we were doing workshops, the director, he’s a very good person asked her can you just do it for real? The pee scene. It will make a big impact. And she was so happy about it. Like, whoa! Being an actor, she’s getting a chance to do it on screen. Something that no one has ever done.
However, once they got to filming the scene seemed impossible to do how Janki and the director wanted, she says. Janki revealed that the scene was why she had agreed to do the film in the first place because it excited her as an actress. But later, it didn’t happen because of art thing and it would have taken many retakes. It wouldn’t have been possible practically on set. So we found a way of doing that. She was happy she gets to do things she can’t in real life. And that scene is like literally the favourite scene. And because of that scene, she said yes to that film.
