Actress Janhvi Kapoor found herself in some truly dangerous situations while shooting for the song “Chuttamale” in ‘Devara: Part 1’, a film starring Jr. NTR. Janhvi recently took to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes clips from the shoot, which took place in Thailand.
The actress revealed that for one scene, she had to wade through waters teeming with jellyfish, putting her in a potentially life-threatening situation.
In one of the shared videos, Janhvi spoke candidly about the risky moment, saying: “This might be the most life-threatening moment… I am going into jellyfish-infested waters. Nothing but a thin silk saree to protect me. I hope I survive, I hope it is worth it. I hope it is a memorable shot.”
She also posted a shot of a warning sign that clearly read “beware” to alert people to the presence of jellyfish in the area. These creatures are known to have stinging cells in their tentacles that can cause painful injuries to humans. Despite the risks, Janhvi braved the hazardous waters for the perfect shot.
