Preity Zinta recalls close-up shot from Dil Se when Mani Ratnam asked her to remove her make-up before the scene: “I thought he was joking”

Shah Rukh Khan, Manisha Koirala and Preity Zinta starrer Dil Se, helmed by the celebrated filmmaker Mani Ratnam, remains one of the classics of all time. In her recent post, Zinta recalled an anecdote on Instagram. She highlighted Ratnam's meticulous nuance to details when he requested her to remove makeup before a close-up shot.

Sharing a photo on Instagram of the same shot, Preity Zinta wrote on Thursday, “This picture was taken on the first day on the set of Dil Se. I was so excited to be working with Mani Ratnam sir and Shah Rukh Khan. When Mani sir saw me he smiled and politely asked me to wash my face…. But sir… my make up will come off, I said smiling …. That’s exactly what I want… Pls wash your face…. He smiled back. I thought he was joking …. Then I realised he was not!!! So thanks to the amazing Santosh Shivam (our Director of Photography) I filmed with a freshly washed face and got away with it. I guess he shot me Dil Se #throwbackthursday #Dilse #Memories #Ting.”
