The plus of working on a remake often is that you have a definite reference point for what you're attempting and you can be prepared for it. However, Kiara Advani, who has seen Arjun Reddy a couple of times, had a different experience while working on Kabir Singh. The actress shot the most intense scene of the film with Shahid Kapoor on her very first day on the set of the film, which took a toll on her emotionally.
When asked about the scene, she said, "I was just thrown into the deep end right at the start. It's the toughest scene of the film which I was made to shoot the day I joined the cast. It's the highest point in Kabir and Priti's relationship and also one of the highs for Priti's character. We shot the scene over two days. On the first day, we shot the tail-end of the scene and filmed the rest of it the next morning. When I was sitting on the bench on which we were shooting the scene, I started thinking how I'd do it. In fact, even Shahid had the same thoughts. We had to shoot this scene at that time because of Shahid's get-up but both of us wished if we could start off with something lighter. Once the camera rolled, things automatically settled in. We were on an emotional high from there. There was a cathartic moment after we finished the scene. It drained me out."
The scene was shot from several angles which meant the scene was filmed several times. "I wish people appreciate the scene because we had to perform it with the same emotional intensity several times for technical reasons," says Kiara, adding, "It's been a personal journey with this character. I had to internalise a lot while playing Priti. She looks simple but she's the silent-strong sort. Sometimes, playing a simple girl can be so difficult. When I had seen the film, I thought this is so simple and she doesn't speak much but emoting without words can be so tough. It takes a toll on you emotionally. Thankfully, I had Shahid as a co-star who makes reacting in a scene very easy and you can feed off his energy."
