Ishita Dutta in tears after slapping Vatsal Sheth on set
Actress Ishita Dutta, currently seen as Arundhati in Rishton Ka Saudagar - Baazigar, got emotional when she slapped her co-star Vatsal Sheth for a sequence in the TV show.
Vatsal is a prankster. So for a change, when I got to know that I have to slap him, I started teasing him about slapping him really hard and taking revenge for all the times he troubles me on set, Ishita said in a statement.
However, when it was time for the scene, I just couldnt make myself slap him and I became numb. It was Vatsal who then convinced me to slap him hard as he believes in authenticity and doing what is needed for a good performance.
In the end, I slapped him hard, but felt so bad about it that I started crying and then he had to hug me and joked about it so that I feel less guilty, she added.
Ishita said this is the last time that she has slapped her co-star.
This is not the first time I had to slap a co-star for a scene. But it is the last time I had to slap someone, I was secretly happy about getting a chance to do so, Ishita said.
Rishton Ka Saudagar - Baazigar is aired on Life OK.

Khali to train Ashish Sharma, Danish Akhtar
To give an authentic feel to the Ram-Ravan war sequence in the popular mythological show Siya Ke Ram, actors Ashish Sharma and Danish Akhtar will be travelling to professional wrestler Khali's institute in Jalandhar to get trained.
Khali has previously trained me in my initial wrestling days. When the iconic war sequence track was coming nearer, I thought I could request him to train all of us so that we do full justice to our roles and give convincing performances, wrestler-turned-actor Danish, who is seen as Hanuman in the show, said in a statement.
I was so glad when Khali asked Ashish and me to come to his institute in Jalandhar where he trains wrestlers, he added.
Siya Ke Ram, aired on Star Plus, is a unique representation of Ramayana from Sita's perspective.
Ashish and Madirakshi are seen as Ram and Sita in the show.
