'I was barely able to stand or dance because of the crazy wind'

Renu Desai captioned the first pic with, "Because of the remote location we were shooting in, we didn't have chairs to sit in between shots. Also, because of the short skirt, I was wearing I couldn't sit on the rocks, so I was joking with Kalyangaru that it's bad manners to sit while a girl is standing beside you This was also the windiest location to shoot in. I was barely able to stand or dance because of the crazy wind #20yearsofbadri."

After sharing the second photo, Renu Desai wrote, "This pic is after we packed up the shoot for the day. Kalyan garu shot his part for the Chikita song and I was shooting for the sad song Varamante. We were super tired because this location required a lot of walking to get to and it was super sunny too. Both of us are lost in our own worlds, tired and hungry #20yearsofbadri."

Renu Desai added, "Same location. Same continuity shoot. Different day. It's been 20yrs but I still so clearly and vividly remember the conversation we were having. This is one of my favourite pics and I am so happy that our photographer clicked this pic from a distance giving us our space and privacy #20yearsofbadri."
