What
started
off
as
an
innocent
enough
scene,
gave
Lekha
Washington
nightmares.
She
was
only
supposed
to
ride
a
bike
with
co-star
Rajeev
Khandelwal
for
their
film
Peter
Gaya
Kaam
Se
But
she
broke
into
cold
sweat
when
director
John
Owen
told
her
that
she
needed
to
go
topless
for
the
scene
and
grasp
Rajeev
with
her
back
facing
the
camera.
She
refused
to
do
the
scene
point
blank.
She
then
agreed
to
do
it
if
they
would
keep
towels
in
between
her
and
Rajeev.
But
once
again,
she
refused
to
do
it.
Finally,
the
director
agreed
to
let
her
wear
a
bikini
top
for
the
film
to
get
the
shot
done.
Lekha
did
the
shot
but
wasn"t
too
happy
about
it.
The
unit
members
told
her
how
important
it
was
for
the
script
and
reminded
her
that
when
she
could
do
an
intimate
scene
with
Rajeev,
this
shouldn"t
be
an
issue.
Rajeev
stated
that
it
was
a
bold
scene
and
Lekha
was
uncomfortable
shooting.
Lekha
expressed
that
Peter
Gaya
Kaam
Se
is
a
film
for
universal
audiences
and
she
didn"t
see
any
reason
to
do
the
film
barebacked.
