What did Soni Razdan say?

While talking to ‘Screen’, Soni Razdan shared the story of the shooting of ‘Gumrah’ and said – ‘When I was shooting for ‘Gumrah’ and I was doing that smoking scene, I smoked about 100 cigarettes and oh God, I did not even know that Alia was in my stomach. I didn’t even know about this change. I got pregnant for the first time when I was shooting for ‘Buniyaad’. And the entire team was very nice to me, because I lived in Lokhandwala Complex, where it was difficult to even get a taxi to go to the shoot in the morning. We had just got married at that time and I did not have my own car. I used to travel in taxi or auto. In such a situation, the team sent a car for me, so that I could travel easily without the pressure of finding transport at 6 in the morning. Lokhandwala was not developed then. Everyone on the set took great care of me, gave me the best room and looked after me.

Alia was pregnant during the shooting of ‘Buniyaad’

Soni Razdan further says- I was pregnant during the shooting of ‘Buniyaad’. Then during the shooting of ‘Gumrah’ I became pregnant again, which I did not even know at that time. I was doing a smoking scene for that film and I must have smoked about 100 cigarettes in that one day. Alia was also in that film, and I had no idea about it. At that time I did not know that I was pregnant. It was strange because I never got any hint that I shouldn’t smoke. I was a non-smoker and after this, I started craving cigarettes.
