Entertainment News: Bollywood actress Vidya Malavade has shared an old experience related to her career. He told that Shah Rukh Khan's superhit film 'Chak De! Many scenes of his character in 'India' were removed during editing. It took about six days to shoot these scenes. Vidya said that after working hard for a character, it hurts to have her scenes cut, but the artist has to come out of it and move forward.
Six days of Vidya's scenes were cut from 'Chak De India'
The film 'Chak De!', released in 2007, was released in 2007. 'India' is still counted among the memorable sports films of Hindi cinema. Vidya Malvade played the role of Indian women's hockey team captain Vidya Sharma in this film with Shahrukh Khan. This role gave him special recognition among the audience. Recently, in an interview, Vidya told that during the shooting of this film, she had done many such scenes which did not find place in the final editing. Scenes that took about six days of shooting were deleted from the film.
The actress said that when an actor works hard for a character, spends time with it and later comes to know that the part will not be in the film, it is natural to feel bad. However, Vidya also admitted that editing is important in film making. Therefore now she does not remain worried about such things for long.
How do you handle yourself when your role in films is small?
According to Vidya Malavade, the only thing that happened to her was 'Chak De! Did not happen in 'India'. In many other films also, the length of his character was reduced after editing. He also mentioned Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem's film 'Baby Do Die Do'. The actress told that her role in this film too was smaller than expected. However, she was happy with the good response the film received.
Vidya believes that an artist must have expectations from his work, but every time things do not go as per his wish. He said that if there is sadness about a film or character, it should be felt. But after some time, it is important to leave that experience behind and focus on new work.
Stepped into microdrama with 'Scam 2024'
These days, Vidya Malavade is also working in new mediums of acting. He has entered the world of microdrama with Story TV's series 'Scam 2024: The Digital Arrest Story'. The actress told that earlier also she had received offers for such shows, but at that time she did not know much about this format.
When he got the story of 'Scam 2024', he liked its subject. The series is based on crimes like online fraud and digital arrest. In this, Vidya has played the character of a woman named Priya Sharma, who gets trapped in the web of cyber criminals.
Was surprised to see the 90 page script
Vidya told that the experience of shooting microdrama was quite different from films and normal web series. Initially he was surprised to hear that the script of about 90 pages was completed in just three to four days. She was wondering how she would be able to act well by memorizing the dialogues in such a short time. However, his worries subsided once the shooting started.
In this format, shooting is done simultaneously with four cameras. This reduces the need to repeat the scene again and again for different angles. According to Vidya, the way of working may be different, but the artist has to work hard to understand and play the character.
Domestic help was cheated online
Explaining the reason for her connection with the story of 'Scam 2024', Vidya also mentioned an incident that happened in her house. She told that about one and a half to two years ago, someone had withdrawn all the money from her domestic help's bank account. One day his assistant told that money was not being withdrawn from the ATM. When Vidya saw the bank passbook, she came to know that the entire amount had been withdrawn from the account twice, about 10 to 12 days ago.
The woman was not even aware of this. She was very upset because she had lost all her savings. After this incident, Vidya became more cautious about online transactions. She told that now when she receives a suspicious call, she immediately disconnects the call and keeps her savings in a separate account from net banking.
After films, she is trying her luck in theater also
Apart from microdrama, Vidya Malavade has also gained new experience in theatre. She is associated with the musical show 'Merry Go Round- Let's Blame It on Bollywood'. The actress says that working in new mediums gives an artiste a chance to learn a lot. For him, now not only the length of the character matters, but the story and working experience are also important.
'Go win! From 'India' to microdrama, Vidya has played different types of characters in her career. He believes that instead of stopping after being disappointed by any one experience, one should keep moving forward.
