‘Never Kiss Your Best Friend’ Star Nakuul Mehta Opens Up On The Difficulties He Had While Shooting
Nakuul Mehta, a TV actor, recently talked out about the arduous filming schedule for his upcoming season of ‘Never Kiss Your Best Friend.’
Speaking about the difficulties during filming, the actor said, “There were multiple difficulties that we faced during Never Kiss Your Best Friend S2 shoot in London. It was biting cold in England. Most of the visas of our crew were rejected because the UK High Commission had become extremely strict.”
In the process, he met new people who offered to help him with his hair and make-up. “My team wasn’t there but I was lucky to find someone wonderful to come and do my makeup and hair there when I didn’t have my A team from here (India). My director didn’t have his assistant director. So, all of us doubled up to play different parts on the show and not just actors.”
“The most challenging part was when Omicron broke out in England much before it did in India and most of us on set contracted it and we had to push our shoot because of that. I had to return to India and my other show’s shoot in India also suffered. So that was a hard phase. Though I joke about the fact that it is a fun slice of life romantic comedy, the drudgery and the drama we went through to make this is another show”, he concluded.
Never Kiss Your Best Friend Season 2 is a ZEE5 original Indian web series. This series is based on the same-named book by Sumrit Shahi. The story centers around two best friends, Tanie and Sumer, played by Anya Singh and Nakuul Mehta, respectively, in this season of Never Kiss Your Best Friend. Tanie Brar has had a roller coaster ride over the last two years, and it’s not only because of the pandemic. Tanie had just broken up with her closest friend turned lover, Sumer, after the success of her first novel. After years apart, the two of them rejoin by chance and are immediately at odds with each other.
