But I wanted the scene to look real and not made up.“Hence, I obliged and she spat thrice on my face. More than me, I felt Lavina was feeling uncomfortable. (It was) one of my unforgettable experiences I’d say. Nevertheless, it’s a part of my profession.”“Waaris”, which also stars Aarti Singh and Sania Touqueer, is based on cultural issues and focuses on the life of Amba (Aarti), who brings up a girl child as a boy.The show is aired on &TV.
