Broken But Beautiful 3: Sidharth Shukla recalls the experience of shooting for a drunk scene

Sidharth Shukla is being lauded for his romantic character, Agastya Rao, from his latest romance drama, Broken But Beautiful 3. The show has received an overwhelming response from the fans.

The show has Sidharth playing an arrogant and moody theatre director, whose outburst often brings other characters to tears. Agastya falls in love with Rumi (Sonia Rathee) but she doesn’t accept him, which leads him to become an alcoholic.

Recalling the experience of shooting for a drunk scene, Sidharth said, “Since I had never performed a drunk scene before, I was not sure of how it would come out. It’s tough and sometimes I felt that I was putting too much effort as an actor. I remember joking and laughing about it and then wanting to get serious too.”

The actor further added that on the day he was shooting the drunk scene, there were guests who had come over to meet him on the set. “I wanted to be in my character and to get it right. I started behaving as if I was drunk. From my vanity van to the set, I walked in a particular way, and the guests started chatting among themselves about my drunken state and got worried for me. But later, I informed them that I was preparing for the scene,” he said.

Reportedly, the show has made a record of 100K+ searches in Google trends in a day. Additionally, the hashtag #BrokenButBeautiful3 has the greatest number of posts for a show on Instagram.

Broken But Beautiful is a tale of love and heartbreak between Agastya and Rumi and it can be streamed on ALTBalaji and MX Player.
