Saumya Tandon, best recognised for her role as Anita Bhabhi in the television series Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain, is currently causing a stir in the most recent Aditya Dhar movie, Dhurandhar. In case you aren't aware, the actor portrayed Ulfat, Rehman Dakait's wife. She talked about the scenario where she had to slap Akshaye Khanna. Additionally, she opened up about him as an experienced performer and reflected back on their chemistry.

Saumya Tandon was expressing her rage as Ulfat to Rehman following the death of their oldest son. She goes to the hospital and slaps her husband on the cheeks as soon as she learns of her son's tragic passing.

Saumya Tandon told Mid-Day that there was hardly any time for practice or even off-camera interaction. "I didn’t even have time to interact with Akshaye, but I genuinely think we had great chemistry. Somehow, just through our eyes, there was so much camaraderie between the two of us. I didn’t have to work hard to build that connection because he’s such a seasoned actor. He is completely present in the moment."

"Initially, I was trying to cheat during the slap scene. Then Aditya came to me and said, 'Don’t fake it, just go for it.' I looked at Akshaye and asked, 'Should I go for it?' and he very nonchalantly said, 'Go for it.' So I did. I felt terrible slapping him, but I just went ahead and did it," she added.

Meanwhile, Naveen, who portrayed Rehman Dakait's gang member Donga, told FilmyGyan that Saumya slapped Akshaye Khanna seven times. He went on to say that the celebrated actor wanted the moment to appear more powerful. Naveen said that Saumya was told by the director and Akshaye to focus solely on the role.

"Akshaye sir kept taking one retake after another to make the scene stronger. He was slapped so many times but didn't hesitate even once. Akshaye sir and Aditya sir were explaining to Saumya that she should get into the character and not think that there is a star in front of her."
