Shoulder to shoulder

A playful scene during the shoot of Paa turned out to be not so playful for Vidya Balan. A source close to Vidya informed, “Vidya had to shoot a scene with an actor, who plays the child Amitabh Bachchan in Paa. The scene required Vidya to carry him on her shoulders.”

“Vidya weighs 45 kgs and so does the plump boy. Vidya carried him on her shoulders nevertheless. The scene was being canned. And suddenly, there was a loud thud. Vidya had lost balance and fallen on the ground along with the boy.”

Vidya got injured while doing the shot. “Balki told Vidya that he could postpone the shoot. But Vidya continued to shoot and the scene was canned successfully.”
