Isha then explained to him that the feeling of getting slapped was necessary for her to show the right expressions. Isha further said, ‘I am not feeling it. He slapped me, but with love.’ She further said, ‘But the director said, ‘Isha, you are being slapped.’ My second problem is that I get angry in real life, I cannot get angry in front of the camera. I don’t know what the problem is. In that anger, I took 14 slaps. Eventually, I got scars.’
