A mix of chemicals like latex and adhesive was applied on Taapsee and Bhumi’s faces daily to make them appear older, says source
Bhumi Pednekar has earned herself the reputation of a committed performer. So far so good. But in her bid to seriously put work before self, the Sonchiriya actress went through the shoot for her next film Saand Ki Aankh despite her face being covered with blisters on one particular day.
Our source said, “Bhumi plays Chandro Tomar while Taapsee Pannu essays the role of her sister-in-law Prakashi. The octogenarians are the oldest women sharpshooters in the world. The former had to undergo three exhaustive hours of prosthetics to become Chandro every day. As if that wasn’t hard enough, she was shooting for more than eight hours in the sweltering heat in Uttar Pradesh. The heat, dust and long hours under the sun made the prosthetics ‘react’ differently. And, though the actress could feel her skin burning, she continued shooting because she was fully aware that the unit was on a tight schedule.’’
Bhumi had even uploaded a picture of the blisters on her face on social media, but then deleted it quickly. However, we managed to get details from a unit hand.
The source added, “A mix of chemicals like latex and adhesive was applied on Taapsee and Bhumi’s faces daily to make them appear older. What started as a small rash spread to the latter’s entire face and caused superficial burns.”
Bhumi, who literally bore the brunt of the heat and make-up without complaining, informed us that she consulted a dermatologist, too. The actress said, “The only thing that I could do was use aloe vera to cool down my skin and face. I could not apply any medicated skin care products because I didn’t know which one would cause further reactions. As an artiste, this film has creatively pushed me and satisfied me to the fullest. In fact, I’m proudly treating my burns as battle marks from a project that I have given my everything to.’’ Bravo Bhumi, way to go girl!
