Actress Eshaa Pathak talks about the challenges of wearing a lehenga in hot weather

Weddings on television might look like a dreamy affair with stunning outfits, dazzling sets and romantic music, but behind the scenes it’s a whole different story. Eshaa Pathak, who plays the character Gauri in Sun Neo’s show Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, is currently shooting for one of the biggest highpoints of the story – Gauri and Rudra’s wedding. And while she looks breathtaking as a bride, the experience of shooting in such a heavy lehenga during summer is no easy task.

About the challenges she faces, Eshaa shared, “Right now, with so much drama going on in the show, my character is finally getting married to Rudra. And for the wedding, they’ve given me an extremely heavy lehenga to wear and in this heat it’s definitely challenging. When we shoot scenes in such heavy costumes, it definitely gets tough. Moving around in this heavy lehenga is not easy at all. And if there’s no AC or less ventilation, it becomes even more suffocating because of the weight and heat. But we still manage it, because the love and appreciation we get from the audience makes it all worth it.”
