Overview
- Sen says the red saree felt freezing and a storm fan kept her hair flying in every scene as a character requirement.
- She recalls Farah Khan insisting on a saree for the entire film despite her initial resistance to the idea.
- On her first appearance in the outfit, Farah quipped “Kya lungi baandhi hai?” and had dresser Geeta tie it lower with an extra-long pallu, leaving Sen worried it might slip.
- The spontaneous pallu brush across Shah Rukh Khan’s face was captured on set and then repeated for multiple angles at Farah’s request.
- Sen adds that although her screen time was limited, Farah ensured Chandni made a strong impression in the 2004 directorial debut Main Hoon Na.
