Arfi Lamba, Kiara Advani and Vijender Singh in Fugly

During the shooting schedules of the song ‘Banjaarey’ from FUGLY which was in Leh – Ladakh, Kiara the lead actress was meant to wear the traditional ceremonial costume of the region.

The manager of the camp took the responsibility and he got traditional dress which was worth 7 lakhs and weighed about 20 kg. Kiara took almost 2 hours to get ready with that dress. A crowd of local people had formed in the meantime to see the shoot. However, once the shoot started, they realised that the dress she was wearing was not their own local traditional dress but that of a neighbouring village.

The locals did not seem very happy with this and they put forth the demand that the leading lady don the dress from their village as she was shooting there. Respecting their sentiments, Kiara donned the new costume, while the crew waited, not wanting to upset the locals or refuse their hospitality.

In the end everyone was happy and satisfied as Kiara changed to the attire which was meant to be actually worn!
