It is rare to see our lead actors donning female attire to fulfill the demand of the shows. One such actor who did this was Siddharth Shukla lead actor of Babul Ka Aangann Chootey Na. It is learnt that Siddharth was not very keen on dressing like a lady. But he had to overcome his apprehension and unwillingness and consent to it after being convinced by the production house.

The six feet two inches tall model turned actor Siddharth had to dress like a mehendiwali. He says, “There is a scene where I am asking my on-screen girlfriend Aastha for a kiss but she being a simple girl doesn’t want to do it. I finally tell her that I would kiss her once before our wedding. So I dress like a mehendiwali as it is the mehendi session where guys are not allowed. I eventually kiss her and win the challenge.”

He adds, “I was initially very apprehensive about donning a saree as I feared if I would not be able to carry it. I remember wearing it when I was in the second standard but things were different then. The entire episode has helped me understand females better. I now understand where do they come from and how tough it is to carry a saree.”

The actor became the butt of all jokes and everyone right from the cast to the crew cracked jokes at his expense. Siddharth says, “Those present on the sets were calling me sexy and beautiful. My on-screen sister and mother too were passing comments at me.”

The episode will be aired next week.
