Richa Chadha Reveals She Tried Gin To Perform Heeramandi Dance Sequence

Richa Chadha, who plays the character of courtesan Lajjo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, revealed that she tried gin to get her drunk dance perfect in the series. Richa also confessed that she doesn't drink at all. Richa told Zoom, "On the first day, I wasn't getting it, to do the drunk dancing. So, after 30-40 takes, I thought let me have a quarter and see what happens.

I did have some gin. I drank a little bit, but it made things worse. I didn't want that lethargy in the body movement, I wanted some of it, maybe the precision can go but I didn't want to let go of the grace." FYI, Richa AKA Lajjo has an elaborate dance sequence at the wedding ceremony of Nawab Zoravar Ali Khan (played by Adhyayan Suman), whom Lajjo is in love with.

During the same conversation, Richa added, "I was better off pretending to be drunk than actually getting a little tipsy. It is a technical job, no matter how much I dance, my dress is so heavy, I have to hit that mark, interact. It was fun for me to do."
