Actress Shalini Pandey spoke about the rape scene in ‘Maharaj’: I was worried about this scene, the character also looked stupid

Shalini Pandey made her screen debut in the film Arjun Reddy. Shalini has recently appeared in the film ‘Maharaj’ alongside Junaid Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sharvari Wagh. Shalini talked about the rape scene of the film during an interview. In this scene, Shalini is forced to have sex with the character Jadunath Maharaj played by Jaideep.

Shalini said that she was very nervous while doing this scene. When she first read her scene, she thought that her character was of a ‘stupid’ girl. But later she realized that the girl had no idea of ​​right and wrong. Later she was convinced that what she was doing was right.

In the film, Jaideep plays a Baba from the 1800s, who has created a myth around himself in which young women are made to believe that they must present themselves before him in a ceremony called ‘charan seva’. He has made them believe that it is sacred for them to be raped by the Baba. On the other hand, society has turned a blind eye to all this.

Shalini told Bollywood Hungama- When I did the ‘charan seva’ scene with Maharaj, I did not realise how it affected me, because I did the scene and suddenly, I went out. I told my team that I don’t want to stay in a closed room, I need time, I need some fresh air, I am getting a little restless. But later I understood the character properly.
