Padmavati’s soulSources reveal that Deepika did over 66 twirls while shooting for the Ghoomar song in Padmavati.

Adding to the difficult dance form that includes twists and twirls, Deepika had to dance in an extravagant costume and adorned in heavy jewellery. Reportedly, the Rimple Narula lehenga weighed around 30 kg and was made at an estimated cost of Rs 30 lakh!

According to Tanishq, more than 200 craftsmen worked for 600 days to mould 400kg of gold for the jewellery used in Padmavati.

Deepika says, “I had started preparing for this film and character for several months before. The shooting of Padmavati began with the Ghoomar song and I will never forget that day. I remember approaching my mark for the first shot and suddenly I felt a chill run through my body.

It was almost as if Padmavati’s soul had entered my body. That feeling still lingers and will continue for years to come,” she added.
