At a recent event here where she was present to unveil the cover of Asiaspa magazine, Gauahar said the role requires her not to follow her regular beauty regime.
“As my shoot is going on, I am not following the regular beauty care like going to the spa and all. The character I am portraying is needed to stay without these things. My director has strictly instructed me not to go through any kind of (beauty) process,” she said.
“Begum Jaan” stars Vidya Balan in the title character. Its makers have also roped in Pallavi Sharda, Priyanka Setia, Flora Saini, Poonam Rajput, Ridhima Tiwari and Ravija Chauhan for the movie, which will even feature singer Ila Arun.
