A real challenge

Actress Roopal Tyagi has done as many as 14 shows and enjoys challenging herself while always trying something different. Recently, she shot a wrestling scene in the show Ranju Ki Betiyaan on Dangal TV. She shares that she was very nervous about the sequence as it required her to lift her opponent on her shoulders. Roopal injured herself, but is recovering from it.

Roopal says, “In the recent episode, we shot an entire kushti tournament and quite honestly I was extremely nervous because I have never wrestled. I grew up like a delicate princess in Bangalore and did not have any brothers or sisters. So I have never really fought with anyone. We had a fight master on sets and we made sure that the girls I was going to fight with were real fighters, so they helped me a lot. The challenges in shooting the scene were many because I don’t have very strong shoulders and the main sequence, which was Bulbul’s signature dhobi pachhad, required me to lift the girls on to my shoulders and throw them on the floor.”
