Meenakshi Seshadri was a well-known actress of the 80s and 90s. He has acted in films like 'Damini', 'Hero', 'Mary Jung', 'Khatak'. Recently in a podcast, the actress shared a small anecdote reminiscing about the old days. He said that the studio conditions were very bad in earlier times, the conditions were so bad that even shooting was very difficult. The actress said that the biggest problem on the set was the toilet, as there was only one toilet and more than 100 people were using it. Meenakshi said that at that time Poonam Dhillon was the only actress who had her own vanity van.
100 people used one toilet – Meenakshi During a conversation on a YouTube channel, Meenakshi said that more than 100 people were using the same toilet on the sets. There were also no separate toilets for men and women. The actress said that there was a lot of trouble due to the lack of toilet on the set. He said that in the earlier days cleanliness was not taken care of, we used to wear fancy costumes during shooting, so care had to be taken not to get the clothes dirty.
Filmed despite diarrhea – Meenakshi During the conversation, when Meenakshi was asked about her bad days, she recalled a time when she had diarrhoea. She said that she was shooting a romantic song in the rain despite having diarrhoea. He said that as an actor one has to work in every situation. Because acting is a very difficult job.
Outdoor shoot had many problems – Jaya Bachchan Not only Meenakshi but earlier Jaya Bachchan also recalled the old days and said that earlier women actresses faced many problems in outdoor shoots. In a conversation on YouTube channel 'What the Hell Navya', Jaya Bachchan said that due to lack of good facilities, the female actress had to change sanitary pads behind bushes during outdoor shoots. That said, we didn't have a van when we were shooting outdoors. Had to change clothes behind bushes. Jaya Bachchan said that this is not only strange but also very embarrassing. We used to use 3-4 sanitary pads and carry plastic bags to throw away the pads and keep them in a basket.
