Akshay Kumar's Saugandh and Ikke Pe Ikka co-star Shantipriya in an interview, revealed that Akshay joked about her complexion while on set and it made her uncomfortable. The interview with Navbharat Times quickly went viral. But the actress has now shared on Twitter that the joke was only a way of Akshay being playful on set.
Earlier this week, in the interview Shantipriya said that the character she was playing in Ikke Pe Ikka was modern and she had to wear short dress with stockings. While shooting for the climax scene, "because I wore a pair of stockings, my knees were looking darker. There were around 100 people. In front of all of them, Akshay said 'Shantipriya has got big blood clots on her legs'. He repeated the same many times but I couldn't understand it. I asked him about the blood clots on my legs and he said 'look at your knees'."
