Bindu Paused Yash Chopra's Joshila Shoot Over Unplanned Bikini ScenePreviousNext

Veteran actor Bindu recalled halting the shoot of Yash Chopra's 1973 film Joshila for nearly two hours after she was surprised by a bikini scene she had not been informed about. Uncomfortable wearing the outfit, she refused to proceed until adjustments were made. Yash Chopra accommodated her by filming her in water with side and back shots to maintain her comfort. The film starred Dev Anand and others, with outdoor scenes shot in Darjeeling.
