National award-winning actor Divya Dutta says shooting in Lucknow reminds her about hometown Ludhiana. Last seen in Sharmaji Ki Beti , the actor has shot in the state capital multiple times in her 30-year career. The actor spent over a month in the city shooting for a web series directed by Dasvidaniya (2008)-fame director Shashant Shah starring Sanjay Mishra and others.
After wrapping her shooting, the actor talks about her stay. ‘In a different time zone!’ Dutta says, “Kitna kamaal ke structures and heritage hai yahan par aur sambhaal ke rakha hai. I went through the crossing at Chowk.
You may get stuck in the chaotic traffic but when you look around, the beautiful old buildings and entangled overhead wires you feel like you are living in a different time zone! I find it very beautiful.” She says, “This time we shot at Bada Imambara, Bhool Bhulaiya, Mehmoodabad Palace, Gomti banks and so many places including Bithoor. I even shot at Sharmaji Ki Chai joint, and it was so crowded.
I lost count of the photos we would have clicked with people but everyone was cultured out there. Is baar scooter bhi chala..
.sab kuch kar liya!” A shopping spree “I bought a lot of suits and handicraft items. Sab ki demand aa jati hai.
I do the least shopping for myself but this time I indulged myself. I wear saris more, but this time I bought two suits. My brother made a kamaal ki demand to bring fresh bhuttas – in the age of boiled American corn, we have started forgetting wo koyl.
