It is common for a stunt double to have similar height and built for the star he/she is doing the action scene for. However, Shenaz Treasuryvala, whose character for a new film was required to climb a building using the pipe, was in for a shock. When she asked who her body double was, a skinny lad with hairy legs was pointed out to her. Bechari’s jaw hit the floor.
Before she could utter another word, the assistant directors told her “not to worry” and whipped out a wig and placed it on the guy’s head. Next, they asked him to wear clothes and high heels just like the actress. Needless to say, Shenaz shuddered at the idea of a guy doubling up for her and offered to do the stunt herself. Fortunately for her, she managed the scene without any trouble, which gave her quite a high, literally.
