Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone is receiving praise for her role as Sumati in Nag Ashwin's film 'Kalki 2898 AD'. But did you know that Deepika Padukone was pregnant while filming the challenging climax scene? In a recent interview, Deepika's co-star Saswata Chatterjee, who plays Commander Manas in the film, revealed an interesting piece of trivia.
In a chat with News 18, Chatterjee shared that during the climax scene where Manas drags Sumati away by pulling her, Deepika was pregnant. Her husband, Ranveer Singh, was also on set with her during the shoot.
He said in the interview, "Deepika is just ever-smiling. There is a scene in the film where I drag her by the hair. It was part of the last leg of the shoot and was shot in Mumbai because Deepika was pregnant by then. There was a lot of physical tussle in the scene, so I told Ranveer, âDon't worry, for more physically challenging scenes, there's a body double.' He was so polite and humble. He smiled and said, âI know, Dada.'"
Saswata also talked about Singh's personality, describing him as someone who âcan't stand in one place.' Deepika and Ranveer announced their pregnancy in February this year and shared that they are expecting their baby in September.
