The Freezing Night Shoot

The colors tv telly updates production team had to rent massive rain machines to simulate the downpour. According to set insiders, the water coming out of the machines was freezing cold.

The Ruined Wardrobe

The shoot was further complicated by the wardrobe. Zara's character wears a simple cotton saree, which immediately became heavy and clung uncomfortably in the cold. Ahaan's character wears a highly expensive, tailored designer suit. The production team only had two identical suits available for the shoot.

"Every time we messed up a line, they had to dry me off with industrial hair dryers and put me in the backup suit while they tried to dry the first one," Ahaan's actor laughed. "It completely ruined the pacing of the emotional argument we were supposed to be having. We were trying to look intensely at each other while internally praying the director would just yell 'Cut!'"

The Aftermath: The 'Sick Day'

The dedication to getting the perfect shot had consequences. The crew spent five hours filming in the artificial freezing rain. The very next morning, both lead actors woke up with terrible head colds, high fevers, and completely lost their voices.

The actors playing the supporting cast joked on social media that Ahaan and Zara's 'chemistry' was actually just a mutual fever setting in. While the final scene looked incredible on television, both actors have formally requested the producers to write any future romantic arguments indoors, preferably near a heater.
