Richa Chadha, who is garnering praise for her role as 'Lajjo' in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's web series 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar', recently opened up on her dance sequence at the wedding of the Nawab (played by Adhyayan Suman) who rejected her. The scene shows a drunk Richa delivering a spectacular performance, however, it wasn’t a cakewalk for the actress, who is a soon-to-be mother. 

Richa, who is a teetotaller told Zoom in an interview how she was just not “getting it” despite 30-40 takes, which is when she decided to consume alcohol. She said, “On the first day, I wasn’t getting it, to do the drunk dancing. So, after 30-4o takes, I thought let me have a quarter and see what happens. I did have some gin. I drank a little bit, but it made things worse. I didn’t want that lethargy in the body movement, I wanted some of it, maybe the precision can go but I didn’t want to let go of the grace.”
