Why did Randeep Hooda slap Alia Bhatt?

 

Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda, who are fetching one assignment after the other these days, have been signed for Imtiaz Ali's Highway. The shooting for the movie has begun and both of them are reportedly working hard on their characters.

Now, the latest being heard from the sets of this film is that Hooda recently left the crew members shocked by planting a tight slap on Alia's face. Well, it wasn't a result of any personal grudge. The act was a part of the movie. Yes! In one odd scene the script demanded Hooda to slap Alia and after taking the consent from the actress Imtiaz began the shoot.

Apparently, in such scenes it is ensured that the act does not cause much pain to the actor and appears to be authentic at the same time. However, Hooda got so engrossed in the scene that he actually gave a very tight slap to the lady leaving the director and others present on the sets stunned for a while. It was now Alia's turn to react and the crew members were expecting she would create a huge hue cry about the whole matter. But, it was surprising to see that Alia took it in good spirits. Being a true-blood professional the actress maintained that it was a part of the scene and she is glad it came out well.
