Sonakshi said, there was a scene where Mallikajan ruins my nose ring removal ceremony and goes away keeping the money. I had to look very embarrassed and angry but the real pain was yet to appear on my face. We did 15-16 takes of it. I knew I had done it in the second or third take. He kept making adjustments again and again. 16 takes were done. I am an actress who gets bored of doing the same thing again and again. He asked me, do you think we got the scene? Do you think another take should be done? So I said no sir, I think it’s done. He immediately said, you have become very lazy.
