Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV
Jhansi’s Jewellery Woes – If you thought re-creating battles from a
bygone era was all about merely assembling men on horses and elephants
and getting them to cross swords, check this out! A thousand women with
ornate jewelry ranging from earrings and necklaces to payals and
bangles, hundreds of men in bejeweled pagdis, kadas and traditional
neck-pieces, even animals adorned with olden era baubles and gems – all
to be captured in violent, vigorous battling action! Phew!!
With the arduous efforts taken by the channel in sourcing authentic
jewelry from the pre-Independence era and its closest substitutes, it is
every producer’s nightmare to see practically half the jewelry getting
smashed to pieces or falling off and getting lost in the very first
take. It is under these trying circumstances that the channel is
currently shooting for the upcoming wars on Jhansi Ki Rani.
With no stone left unturned in ensuring a grand re-creation of the
azadi battles, the upcoming episodes will be a sheer delight to watch!
Kratika Sengar, the firebrand actress who plays the feisty Rani, said,
“It’s a crazy adventure shooting for the battle sequences! The heat, the
grime, the heavy costumes and jewelry, it can all get very strenuous at
times. In a battle sequence, one ends up damaging or losing a lot of
props and jewelry. So it constantly needs to be replaced and the damaged
jewelry is truly any costume designer’s nightmare. But, the result you
see on screen completely justifies the pains we’re taking!”
