‘You Owned It’: Ayesha Khan Says She Shot Dhurandhar Song Shararat While On Her Period, Internet Reacts

Even months after its theatrical release, Dhurandhar continues to dominate conversations, especially after its successful OTT run. One of the film’s biggest highlights, the high-energy dance number Shararat, featuring Ayesha Khan and Krystle D’Souza, has emerged as a full-blown chartbuster. Now, Ayesha has revealed a behind-the-scenes detail that has left the internet stunned — she shot the demanding song while she was on her period.

What Ayesha Khan said

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Ayesha opened up about the physically and emotionally taxing shoot. “It was two days of shoot. It was so hectic, I was on my period during the shoot, and you know you’re not looking your best because you’re bloated and you’re not at your best. Kaash, I was at my best. It was so much

of work for two days… We were running short on time. We were so tired, our bones were aching after dancing so much. I was feeling so overwhelmed, and it was also because I was on my period, so maybe my emotions were hitting me too much. So, I just couldn’t control and I just cried. It was Khushi ke aansu (tears of joy).”

Internet reacts with praise

Ayesha’s revelation quickly sparked admiration online, with many praising her dedication and grit. One user commented, “Omg, how did you dance and do the difficult steps during your period! Hat’s off to her!” Another wrote, “Periods, no way! U owned the show! Period!” A fan added, “Periods me in this energy dance! Hats off to your dedication.” Several others echoed similar sentiments, applauding her performance and professionalism.
