Bollywood actress Kriti Shannon said that she is unsure e about whether she will deliver a child in real life, as she is petrified. While speaking about her role in her upcoming film Mimi, the Kukachupi actress said that she couldn’t relate to her character becoming a mother. She called the delivery scene in the film ‘the toughest’ and she was very nervous about it.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Mimi is the tale of a feisty and carefree girl who becomes a surrogate mother to make money. The movie also features Pankaj Tripathi and Manoj Pahwa and the film is all set to release on July 30 on Jio Cinema and Netflix.
In an interview, the actress said, “I have seen a lot of real delivery videos on YouTube and all I can say is I am petrified to deliver a child in real life. I am not sure if I want to deliver or not in real life… The second half of the film is difficult for me. Especially when Mimi becomes a mother. Because this was a scene that I couldn’t relate to – a delivery means a lot of mental change and not just physical change. Gaining 15 kilos was definitely tough but the delivery scene in the film was the toughest. And I was very nervous about it.”
“Mostly in Hindi films we sometimes put comic relief in it and sometimes it is done in a subtle way. But our director Laxman Utekar wanted to film this in a realistic manner. He told me a man should experience the pain while seeing you. They should feel what a woman goes through while delivering and look at his wife and feel proud. That was the brief he shared.” she added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress has many interesting projects in her kitty including Bhediya, Bachchan Pandey, Adipurush and Ganapath.
