Shraddha Kapoor

Shraddha Kapoor, who injured her leg during the rehearsals for a song-and-dance in her new film Baaghi, has learnt to master the art of assuaging her pain. Despite the risk to her leg Shradha has been dancing the very complicated steps of choreographer Bosco-Ceasar in the film.

According to sources from the sets, “Ideally, Shraddha should be resting her leg until it heals completely. But the dates of all the technicians for the song were in place. Her co-star Tiger Shroff was also unavailable later. Shraddha had no option but to dance through her injury. Her personal doctor is on the sets wth her throughout.”

Shraddha’s co-star Tiger is all praise for her tenacity and will-power. Says Tiger admiringly, “She’s a tough girl, that’s for sure. It’s a high-octane dance number. And she’s dancing in high heels with a leg injury. She is not only keeping up with me but doing the dance steps better than me. I’ve to really push myself, even in my solo bits where I don’t have to dance with her, to complement her energy.”

Tiger says the dance number with Shradha is his toughest to date. “It has a very different feel from what I generally do. It’s removed from my comfort zone. If I find the steps tough with my healthy feet I wonder how Shraddha is able to cope with her injury!”
