RapeSceneLeftGovindNamdev 'Scared' butMadhuriDixitwasSupportive

During a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Govind Namdev talked about shooting the scene, his fear and Madhuri's supportive attitude.

He said, "I have become a fan of Madhuri in this matter. If a new actor who is nervous and conscious gets such cooperation from a high-level actor, then they can give their 100 per cent. Usually, it doesn't happen. An actress stays in her own aura. But, she cooperated a lot, since the beginning."

Namdev further added, "Her attitude made me very comfortable. We shot the scene almost at the end. I used to fold my hands and say, 'I am going to do this.' She would reply, 'Yes, Okay'. She made me feel very free. But, I was scared that something untoward or wrong shouldn't happen with the number one heroine, and things could go wrong between us.
