Alia Bhatt on shooting in freezing weather in thin chiffons for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: ‘Ranveer Singh would take off his jacket…’

It’s now a well-known fact that Alia Bhatt shot for the song ‘Tum Kya Mile’ in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, merely four months after welcoming her daughter, Raha. Despite being a new mother, Alia shot the song in the snow-clad mountains of Kashmir, donning thin chiffon sarees. During her recent promotion of the upcoming film in Kolkata, Alia shared how the entire team, including co-star Ranveer Singh, took special care of her during the shoot.

In her conversation with the media, Alia admitted that shooting the song without warm clothes was challenging, but the team went above and beyond to ensure her comfort. She revealed, “In those conditions, I had to wear chiffon sarees, but what many people don’t realise is that the team takes great care of the actor on the set. You don’t see the heaters around, the leg warmers I had on, and how Ranveer, who was wearing jackets, would keep putting them on me in-between takes to provide some respite. But I must praise myself a bit, I am a trooper in that sense. I go with the flow and I am always focused on getting the job done. Wearing a puffer jacket over that chiffon saree would have taken away the beauty, so I was happy doing it as I got to live my dream.”

After the release of the song ‘Tum Kya Mile,’ Karan Johar publicly apologised to Alia for making her endure the harsh cold weather. On Instagram, he wrote, “This is also the first shoot Alia did after the birth of her angel, and I remain in apology for freezing her in Manish Malhotra chiffons… in sympathy, I fell drastically ill through the shoot (a karmic punishment perhaps). Ranveer was nervous as this was his first lip-sync mountain love song, but he was a real trooper.”

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is all set to release in theatres on July 28
