YRF ensured girls didn't have to run during their periods
Since Chak De India required the women to be active throughout the filming, Vidya Malavade shared with Bollywood Hungama that YRF (Yash Raj Films) hired someone who kept track of their periods. This was to give the women a break on those days, so they didn't have to do physically demanding scenes like running shots and could focus on other parts of the shoot.
"I think I have to give this to Yash Raj because there could have been a lot of chaos; we were 16 girls, not easy to handle us. There was detailing to the point where they had one aunty for us who knew when our periods would come, where we could not may be do the shots of running around in the field, where one could get a breather because they are on their period and they could do something else", she said.
According to the actress, with sixteen girls on the team, most of whom had never experienced working on a film set before, YRF made sure that everyone felt comfortable in the environment.
