Shabana Azmi recalls feeling ‘humiliated’ on the set of Bollywood film: ‘Started walking barefoot towards my house, crying’

Amidst the Dharmendra-Shabana Azmi lip-lock scene controversy in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, 72-year-old Azmi recently revealed that she felt humiliated and miserable on the set of a Bollywood movie titled Parvarish.

Narrating her ordeal, she expressed that on the set of the 1977 film Parvarish, she was made to do a dance number without any rehearsal and was humiliated on set by the choreographer.

“There were a lot of junior artists on the sets. Someone said ‘Okay, lights off. Now Shabana Ji is now going to teach Kamal dance master what steps to do’. It was so humiliating and bad that I just ran off the set. I was in ghastly clothes. I went out to find my car was not there so in those clothes I started walking barefoot to my house in Juhu, crying away and saying ‘I am not going to work in any Hindi film anymore. I just don’t want this humiliation,” she expressed in a podcast with Adi Pocha.

She even mentioned that unlike normal, she was born with two left feet. Hence, she finds it difficult to dance.

In the podcast, Shabana even said “I cannot dance to save my life. I have two left feet. I had asked Kamal Master, he was the choreographer. I said ‘Please give me rehearsals.’ He said rehearsal is not needed. You just have to clap. However, when we went on the set, it was a full-fledged dance number with a gun in one hand and a gun in the other. It was so frightening.”

This podcast aired just on the day of the release of Shabana’s film release, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. She, however, is in the news due to wrong reasons. After watching the movie, many fans of the movie did not feel comfortable watching 72-year-old Azmi passionately kissing 87-year-old Dharmendra on screen.

Meanwhile, the sizzling chemistry between Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in this romantic comedy is appreciated by film critics in the movie.
