The action sequences in Disney+ Hotstar’s Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo surely look bad-ass but what went behind creating them, read on as Radhika Madan talks about one of her scariest experiences during an action scene.

Radhika Madan said, “For one of the action scenes, there was this conveyor belt from the second floor to the ground floor, and I had to slide from this second floor to the ground floor. I was really fired up and super excited to shoot this scene because I really like doing action scenes. In fact, all the action scenes in Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo that are there, I have done it myself, I really don't like using stunt doubles. So for this particular scene, I started the sequence and mid way through it, I realised that my shoe or my heel had gotten stuck to the side and I flew and bounced off the belt! While I had all the necessary protection with a harness, but the thrust of the push wasn’t regulated and hence threw me off ground so I was left hanging between two poles after great launch from the conveyor belt! There was pin drop silence on the set after this happened because everyone got really concerned in case I had hurt myself and I did get an injury mark on my leg. After they got me off, my concern was did we at least get the shot, and I turned to Homi and asked him if he needed one more and he just looked at me and asked me to give one more take to this and there I was, doing this all over again, this time, successfully!”

Welcome the ultimate Saas-Bahu duo and watch them shatter patriarchy 5th May onwards only on Disney+ Hotstar
