Mumbai, February 26 – Actress Kashmera Shah recently shocked comedian and close friend Bharti Singh with an elaborate and unconventional makeover inspired by the iconic scene from the 1989 film "ChaalBaaz," starring Sridevi.
In a vlog shared by Bharti Singh on her YouTube channel, Kashmera is seen applying bold and mismatched colours on Bharti, creating a look that was more frightening than glamorous.
When Bharti finally opened her eyes to see the result, she was surprised. Upon realizing what had happened, Kashmera quickly left the makeup room and tried to hide. Bharti later found her and, in her characteristic humorous style, joked that Kashmera's prank was enough to end their friendship. She also said that if Kashmera hadn't been Krushna Abhishek's wife, Bharti would have retaliated in her own style.
The prank strongly reminded of a memorable scene from the late Bollywood superstar Sridevi's film, "ChaalBaaz," which was directed by Pankaj Parashar and released in 1989. In the movie, Sridevi, who played a double role as twin sisters Anju and Manju, paints Rohini Hattangadi's face in a comical act of revenge. In the film, Rohini Hattangadi portrays the role of a cruel and dominating guardian, Amba, who mistreats Anju.
In one of the iconic sequences from the movie, Sridevi's character mischievously paints loud and scary makeup on Amba's face while she is asleep, creating a horrific look as a fun act of revenge for the former's ill doings.
The scene had become one of the most talked-about comic moments of the film, which remains a cult classic.
The vlog features Bharti Singh and Kashmera Shah on the cooking-based reality show "Laughter Chefs."
While Kashmera is participating as a celebrity contestant along with her husband Krushna Abhishek on the show, Bharti is seen hosting it.
