Hiccups in mid-air

By Ankita R. Kanabar

The Sidharth Malhotra-Parineeti Chopra-starrer, Hasee Toh Phasee is a quirky yet emotional love tale with a lot of crazy scenes.
For one scene Malhotra gets hiccups, but getting it right was actually a task for the actor.
“I get hiccups while driving the car and the other character with me in the car is insistent that I stop the hiccups. But since I am driving, we realise that nothing can be done to stop it. As it was a long sequence, it was difficult for me as I had to fake a hiccup and keep doing it repeatedly. Then there were rehearsals as to what kind of sound the hiccup should have, and to maintain it while saying lines, was a task. It looks funny when you would see it on screen but we had to do it as sincerely as possible” says the actor.
