Bollywood’s versatile singer Sunidhi Chauhan, who has made a stunning comeback to the entertainment arena, is busy serving at her packed concerts. However, not many are aware that she once worked as an assistant director to Imtiaz Ali for the film ‘Tamasha’. Sharing an interesting anecdote from her time on sets, Sunidhi recalled how people mistook her for a doppelganger.
In an interview with Sucharita Tyagi, Sunidhi Chauhan recalled, “I assisted on a very good film called Tamasha. Thanks to Imtiaz Ali. I`m a devotee of Imtiaz Ali and luckily, we know each other very well. So he gave me that opportunity. When Tamasha was about to shoot, he said, ‘Yes, of course, you can join us and have fun, watch the whole process. I thought, ‘Yes, this is a good opportunity’. So I went. I didn`t know that I would get the job. And I was terrified. I did everything an AD should do and people over there, when there was a shot where there was a lot of crowd, I would manage the crowd also."
