5) Rakul Preet Singh
“When I was doing a film down South, I fired a gun for the first time, and though it was a fake, I’d kept a bullet as a souvenir. I tucked it into my purse and forgot about it for 6-7 months till I was caught at Delhi airport and detained.
I was taken for an interrogation and grilled for 3 hours. Initially, I blanked out totally, then remembered how I’d come to have it. By then, they’d already sent it to the lab for testing and it was ‘Breaking News’. That was a lesson for me, and after that I’ve nver carried anything home from work.”
6) Nushrat Bharucha
From Pyaar Ka Punchnama – “I love mugs and throw pillows. The red, heart-shaped pillow in Pyaar Ka Punchnama was my travelling companion to begin with. Luv Sir and my associate spotted it in my car and thought it was the perfect prop for my character Neha, and my art director agreed.”
“Since it was my own, I guess it wouldn’t qualify as a souvenir technically. Well, I have taken a candle and a vase from the sets, of course, after informing the team.”
7) Tamannah Bhatia
From Baahubali – “The films I do usually leave an impact, which is why I forge a connection with what my character wears. During Baahubali, I wore a locket for the duration of the shoot and then, took it home with me.”
8) Chitrangada Singh
From Inkar – “I really liked the dresses my character, Maya, wore in Inkar. They were simple, straight-cut office wear, and I kept a couple.”
From Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi – “I also have some beautiful sarees from Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi that director Sudhir Mishra had gone to Kolkata to buy as he wanted my clothes to look authentic.”
