Jigra: Vedang Raina’s mental health got affected
Vedang Raina recently said in an interview that it was difficult for him to enter and exit the role he played in Jigra. He disclosed Alia Bhatt acts flawlessly. And instantly step out of as soon as the cut signal. The actor did admit that it wasn’t simple for him to follow suit.
Vedang stated, “It did impact my mental health a bit.” Recalling what happened during the shooting of an intense sequence on the first day, he continued, “On the very first day, I was to shoot a rather emotionally intense scene, and I shut myself in my vanity, put the lights off, switched off my phone, and told people to just leave me alone—I sat there listening to my music.”
Vedang said that he was placed in “self-imposed solitary confinement” for around eight hours after the shoot was rescheduled. He claimed that it had an impact on him. Even hours after the filming, he was unable to leave that state of mind.
The Archies actor said that he realized it wasn’t how things were going to work. He claimed it wasn’t worth it and that there were more effective ways to elicit that kind of feeling.
