Shekhar says an actor should prepare like a soldier
Shekhar was asked about the filmmaker’s meticulous process that resulted in delays in the actors’ shooting. The Heeramandi actor said, “It is like a soldier waiting for the enemy to attack. He won’t say ‘I’ve been waiting for 12 hours, now I want to go home.’ Does this happen? No, there he is! Whenever the enemy comes, he starts firing. It doesn’t matter whether it’s snowing or hot. An actor has to be prepared like a soldier.”
‘You can’t complain about losing your concentration’
He further added, “Even if Mr. Bhansali says you keep doing it for two days, three days, but if you are an actor you will keep doing it. You can’t complain about losing your concentration. Then get out, being an actor has nothing to do with you. Whenever you look back, you will look back with great happiness and pride. And that is why there is so much respect for him. Everyone gets impatient, but that doesn’t mean losing your temper. There is time and money involved, other actors are waiting because of your lack of understanding… it becomes unfair to the director. The way they pamper their actors is like nobody’s business.
about the constitution
Heeramandi is set against the backdrop of the Indian independence movement against the British Raj in the 1910s–1940s. The series depicts the lives of prostitutes of Heera Mandi, the red-light district of Lahore.
