As fans eagerly await the release of Panchayat Season 3, the show’s cast is busy with promotions, sharing various behind-the-scenes anecdotes. In a recent interview, Neena Gupta shared how they shot the new season in blazing heat due to date issues of cast members. While she wasn’t thrilled with the arrangement, she accepted it in the interest of the show.
Talking to Mirchi Plus, Neena said, “I am happiest when I am working. At that time, I am not bothered about sand, 47-degree heat, and all if the work is good. When we did Season 3 of Panchayat, we again shot in peak summer because of date issues of people. We would keep wet cloths on our faces and necks. No matter how many umbrellas you have, when you are getting ready for a shot, before ‘sound’ and ‘action’, some time is taken to get the shot ready.”
Explaining the situation further, she said, “In one shot, I was standing under the blazing sun, and the director announced ‘sound, action,’ so the umbrellas were removed. But it took some time to get the shot started, and I was burning. I was complaining to myself, saying, ‘Ye kya hai? (What is this?)’ Then I realized, and this is very important in life, that you can’t run away from this, you have to give the shot. So, accept it, and the moment I did that, I was okay.”
During the interaction, Neena was asked about her film choices and how she has portrayed strong women in the past. While Neena agreed that she is now in a position to pick and choose her roles, it wasn’t the case for most of her career. She said, “I didn’t have an option to choose my characters for most of my life. That phase has passed. Now, I do what excites me, but I can’t do something that is very wrong and harmful. For instance, I recently got an offer to star in an advertisement, and ads give you a lot of money, sometimes even more than films. But I refused it because it was for a brand that is not good for our health.”
