Vedang Raina shared his experience of shooting for Jigra

Let us tell you that during the interview, Vedang Raina shared his experience of shooting for Jigra. He said, "Alia Bhatt would be in the scene, hit all the right notes with precision and get out of character as soon as she heard 'cut'. But I couldn't, it is not easy for me to get into character and get out of it. It affected my mental health a bit. On the very first day, I had to shoot an emotionally intense scene."

'I locked myself in my vanity'- Vedang Raina

Continuing his story, Vedang Raina further said, "I locked myself in my vanity, switched off the lights, switched off my phone, asked people to leave me alone - I sat there listening to my music. Now, as fate would have it, the shot was supposed to happen at 3 pm, but there was a delay and we started shooting around 8 pm. So, I was in that self-imposed solitary confinement for almost 8 long hours and it really started affecting me".

Vedang Raina further said, “Even when the scenes were completed, I could not get out of that zone for 2/3 hours. I realized that it is not going to work this way and after that, I decided not to let myself go through something like that. It is not worth it and I believe there are other ways to reach that feeling, I just have to find out which way is best for me”.
