Shashank and Sargun put their lives at stake for a scene in Colors’ Balika Vadhu

Remember the ‘temple story’ that we reported on Balika Vadhu (Sphere Origins) yesterday!!!

Well, it was about Jagdish (Shashank Vyas) and Ganga (Sargun Mehta) visiting a temple with the entire family. This would also be the moment when they would learn about Ganga’s pregnancy.

However, we hear that just before the climbing up the temple stairs sequence, there was a dramatic scene that both Shashank Vyas and Sargun Mehta had to shoot for.

So what was this scene all about?

The scene required to show Ganga (Sargun) lost in her own thoughts when a handcart full of iron rods slides down a slope (road) and be on the verge of hitting Ganga. But Jagdish (Shashank) comes and saves her at the nick of time.

The rods were initially meant to be artificial ones, but since the production could not arrange them on time, the real ones were brought in the picture and everything was left on Shashank’s timing.

“It was indeed a very scary scene. I was extremely nervous as I did not know if I’d be able to pull Sargun away on time. In fact I went on to explain the production about the same but, they were confident that I would do it,” narrates Shashank.

So, did all go well? “Luckily the timing matched and the scene was shot perfectly. But I must admit that this was one of the toughest scenes that I have shot for so far.”

All’s well that ends well!
