Ranjeet recounted an incident where Madhuri Dixit shed tears extensively when approached to perform a molestation scene with him in Prem Pratigya and declined to film it.
During an interview with ANI, the veteran actor, Ranjeet, renowned for portraying antagonistic characters in movies, shared that Madhuri became emotional and expressed his unawareness of the situation when she was asked to do the molestation scene in Prem Pratigya.
The 82-year-old actor said, “She (Madhuri Dixit) started crying and refused to do the scene. I was unaware of the situation… some art director had told me. There was a Bengali art director."
"Our director was Bapu, he was from South. I used to have fun on the sets, like when I would tell my co-stars, face the other side, I’ll change," he added.
"I was not even used to going to the makeup room. Very normal and all that. I was accepted like that; otherwise, they would say I’m fake.”
The Housefull 2 actor further mentioned that the molestation scene was planned to take place on a handcart, and he waited for Madhuri to arrive.
Ranjeet said, “The crying continued, I had to go to another shoot and I told them to call her. But no one told me that Madhuri is not agreeing. Ultimately, she agreed. Veeru Devgan was the fight master. He said that we will keep rolling the camera: the scene shouldn’t be cut in between’. Molestation is a part of our job. The villain is not bad. All my heroines were very fond of me because I never used any force.”
