New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) Priyanka Chopra is scared of horses but
her determination to give her best enabled her to sail through a
scene in “Drona” where she had to ride a horse with Abhishek
Bachchan. Priyanka plays Abhishek’s bodyguard in “Drona” and
tries to save him from evil in the film.
In one of the sequences, she had to ride a
horse and no one on the sets knew that she has a phobia for
horses. She got very nervous seeing the horse on the sets.
“Since the day we started the shooting of ‘Drona’, Priyanka was
very confident about her action and fighting scenes. She was
very confident until we started shooting for this scene where
she was supposed to ride a horse. She suddenly got very edgy
with the idea of riding a horse and that was when we realised
that Priyanka was actually scared of horses,” said director
Goldie Behl.
But Priyanka overcame her fear and gave the shot.
“The horse sequence was very prominent for the scene. After a
creative discussion, she actually shot for the entire sequence.
Once the camera rolled, no one could make out that she was
scared and she shot like a pro,” said Behl.
