New Delhi: Actress Chitrangada Singh’s exit from movie ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz’, stunned all tabloids. The beauty, reportedly, walked out of a project, also starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, because she apparently was not comfortable shooting the intimate scenes, the way the director Kushan Nandy wanted it.
Since, this shocking news saw the light of the day, it created quite a stir in the film industry. The director defended himself by saying that Chitrangda Singh created a fuss about nothing and the amount of intimacy is what any normal film has. He further asserted that Chitrangda was unprofessional during shooting which prompted him to show her the exit door.
After staying quiet on the matter, Chitrangda Singh recently gave an explosive interview to SpotBoye, where she explained her side of story.
Here are a five things she said, which tell an all together different story than the director.
1. On intimate scenes:
He wanted me to lie on top of Nawaz. Now let me tell you that I was wearing a petticoat for that scene. I turned around to tell Kushan about my predicament. I told him: 'Ho toh gaya. Kyun kar raha hai aise? Please try to understand that I am wearing a petticoat. But, he was in no mood to listen and we ended up having a big, loud argument. And wait till you hear this! A few minutes later he went and told Nawaz that we had shot the intimate scene very well!! Can you beat that?
2. On having differences with Kushan Nandy's business partner Kiran Shroff:
Who is this woman Kiran Shroff? I found her so weird. She sits in front of the monitor, decides how many takes should be taken, and even okays the shot.

3. On shooting the intimate scene again:
He wanted me to shoot the scene again. And he said that I should do it bindaas. What is a bindaas woman? One who wears a petticoat and jumps on a man?
4. On co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui:
Nawaz said that Kushan had been telling him that he'll get some other heroine. Frankly, Nawaz was quite bewildered.
Nawaz and I had also kissed in that montage, and now Kushan wanted a 7-second kiss in the intimate scene. Even Nawaz told him 'Kiss kiya toh hai, ab kya chahiye Kushan?' Kiran interfered and I turned around to tell her: Who are you to explain my scene to me?
5. On wanting to return to the movie:
Nawaz called me when I was headed to the airport. He asked me to return. And do you know what I told him? I told him: Speak to Kushan and if he sees my viewpoint, I am still 30 minutes away from the airport and ready to come back. But Kushan did not revert.
