Actor Swara Bhasker recently revealed that there was lot of pressure to lose weight and look a certain way during the shoot of Rhea Kapoor’s Veere Di Wedding (2018). Swara also recalled feeling uncomfortable in a bodysuit, which made her feel ‘half-naked’.
During a conversation with Mirchi Plus, Swara shared that her most challenging role was in Veere Di Wedding. She said, “It might be surprising but my character in Veere Di Wedding was the toughest to play. The kind of actor I am, prepping for a role – body language, dialogue, lines, I can do that. But, the most difficult thing for me to do are glamorous roles. My character in Veere Di Wedding was so much focused on glamour – clothes, looks, and a lot of pressure to lose weight and look sexy, hot.”
The actor added, “I feel like I have never been more stressed in my career than when I was doing that film. It was out of my depth. Luckily, Rhea was also the stylist of the film. Her styling talent is of international level, so I was in very good hands. Ultimately, it came out very well and the shoot was fun. I kept my own authenticity too, in that character, hence it worked. But, the process was very hard for me.”
Swara Bhasker also recalled wearing a bodysuit while shooting the Veere Di Wedding song “Tareefan.” Swara said, “It was the hardest to look good everyday, wearing lenses, makeup, new hair. At times, I used to wear the clothes and ask them, ‘What is this? Are these clothes?’ I remember when we were shooting Tareefan, I wore a bodysuit. I had heard what it was for the first time. It is basically a one piece swimming costume with a deep neck, along with heels or boots.”
She continued, “We had to leave the vanity van from the parking and walk till the studio. I asked Rhea, ‘These are the clothes? There’s nothing to wear underneath?’ She said that there’s a vibe in this outfit, with the fishnet stockings, etc. I said that I am half-naked, how will I walk to the studio like this? I asked for a towel and wrapped it around me, so it was hard for me.”
On the work front, Swara Bhasker has Mrs. Falani and Sheer Qorma, slated for release in 2026.
