Shefali Shah remembers how the cameraperson forgot to capture a 12-page-long scene from Delhi Crime

Shefali Shah earlier sat down for an interview with IANS and remembered a scene from Delhi Crime Season 1 when the cameraperson forgot to roll the camera, and she performed the scene without even realising that her efforts were not captured. Shefali remembered how exhausted she was, crying because she could not complete a 12-page scene that day. She had told Richie Mehta of unable to do the same. She wanted the team to go home, take their reactions, but then she recollected how the cameraperson did not roll the scene. Shefali shared:

"I went up to Richie Mehta and said, ‘Please send everybody home. Take their reactions, send them home, we’ll keep shooting the whole night.’ He said, ‘No, but everyone wants to be there for you.’ Also, in the show, it’s been cut with various shots of the bus stand, etc. But when he was shooting it, he didn’t want to cut it. So, it was going in a whole go, and the guy forgot to roll. We did the whole scene, and we all looked at him like, ‘Are you serious?’'
