Laapataa Ladies was originally titled 2 Brides
A post shared by the Laapataa Ladies actress Pratibha Ranta caught our attention. The post was shared by her last month on April 29 as she expressed her gratitude to the director Kiran Rao. The actress had shared a carousel of four images.
The first picture featured her in a red saree as she clicked a selfie in her makeup room, followed by a photo of the actress from the monitor as she held the clapboard in her hand. The title of the film on the board reads, “2 Brides,” making it clear that the film title was changed during the film release, as opposed to what it was called at the shoot.

The next couple of pictures also featured the actress’ stills from the film as she dressed her best in the character. While sharing the post, the Heeramandi actress had expressed in the caption, “Laapataa Ladies A film that helped me find myself. I am beyond grateful for this opportunity.
