Anushka Sharma’s production venture, Bulbbul, remains one of the best period horror films released in recent years. Starring Triptii Dimri as a lead, Bulbbul turned out to be a turning point in her career. Directed by Anvita Dutt, the 2020 film also starred Rahul Bose, Avinash Tiwary, Paoli Dam, and Parambrata Chattopadhyay. Remember the gut-wrenching rape sequence featuring Triptii and Rahul that sent chills down our spines during its release? Rahul Bose recently recalled becoming a ‘beast’ during the rape scene with Triptii in Bulbbul and told the actress that if she ever feels unsafe, then she can tell him.

During a new interview with Siddharth Kanan, Rahul Bose remembered his experience of working with Triptii Dimri in Anushka Sharma’s Bulbbul. The senior actor shared how he felt that shooting a rape sequence might trigger Triptii, so he told her to use a safe word, i.e., his name, Rahul.

Calling it a “difficult scene” in which her character dies on the bed, Rahul recalled telling Triptii that if the actress ever feels unsafe on the bed with him, she can say his name out loud and he will stop it.

Recalling what he told her, “Because once camera says action, I will become this beast, so if it triggers you, she should just say Rahul, and I will stop and become like this (normal); don’t worry.”

The Dil Dhadakne Do actor then praised Triptii, saying that she is a strong, centered, kind, and talented actress. Rahul continued that it was a pleasure working with her. The senior actor described their work relationship as “lovely.”

In Bulbbul, Triptii Dimri played the role of Bulbbul Chaudhary, a former child bride. Rahul Bose was cast in dual roles, Thakur Indranil Chaudhary/Mahendra Chaudhary, the former one being Bulbbul’s husband. Avinash was Indranil’s younger brother and Bulbbul’s childhood friend, Satyajeet Thakur.

Lainey Wilson has opened up about one of the terrible incidents that took place with her during one of the concerts she had performed at. During her appearance on the Taste of Country Nights podcast, the singer recalled getting spit on during her performance.

She revealed that while she wanted to step down to know who carried out such a nasty stunt, Wilson claimed that she went on to perform without taking an action as such. 

In conversation with the podcast host, the Heart Like A Truck crooner elaborated on the incident by stating, “Last year, when we were on our headlining tour, when we were just on a club tour, somebody spit on me, on stage.” She further added, “I thought about getting down there and finding whoever it was, but I didn’t. I kept rolling. I just kept rolling.”

Moreover, the Grammy-winning musician shared how she reacted to the situation. While she stated that she is able to laugh about the incident, now she felt disgusted at the time it happened. 

Wilson revealed, “First of all.” She added, “I was like, ‘Why in the world would you buy a ticket and then go spit on somebody?’ But also, there’s some mean people in the world. Also, they could have just been drunk and just being silly.”
