Taapsee Pannu talks about paratha recipe scene in Dunki

In Dunki, Taapsee Pannu played the role of Manu Radhawa. During the film, there was a scene where Taapsee's character was asked to talk about the recipe of paratha completely in English and this scene made everyone laugh and it was perfectly portrayed by the actress. 

But, in a recent interview with Zoom, Taapsee shared that she did the hilarious paratha recipe scene in Dunki in just a single take. She said that the entire team including her was wondering about how the scene could be portrayed perfectly.

The actress said, "A day prior to that shoot, we were shooting together in a meeting room and discussing that 'this is on paper, now how do we perform it.' We were thinking about how to make it endearingly funny, and not make it look cheesy and weird."

She continued that she kept practicing in front of the team. "I am not a person who enjoys doing a lot of rehearsals as I feel like I am spending, and when I perform that emotion won't come from within," she added. Taapsee further said that the team decided to spend half the day of the shoot to do the paratha recipe scene but much to everyone's surprise, the first take was perfect.
