Anu Aggarwal on topless scene in The Cloud Door

Anu, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, said that when she read the script the scene wasn't a part of it. However, after 29 days of shoot, director Mani Kaul told her about the topless scene leaving her entirely shocked during the night shoot. "I was shocked. I asked, 'What do you mean?' I said, 'This wasn’t in the script. Based on that, I won’t do it.' It's not that I couldn't do it, but I chose not to."

Here's why she did it anyway

The actress then completed her 30-day shoot and came back to Mumbai. However, she sort of regretted her decision. A month later when the director called her to inform that the film had been selected for Cannes, he insisted the scene should be a part of the movie. "I was surprised and thought, What does it mean to him if I go topless? Finally, I agreed to do the scene and went back just to shoot that. It made me so sad because I felt that if it was about the film, I could have taken a break from it. If I was the lead, I would obviously cover myself up, but as an actor, this was a challenge, so I accepted it. I said, 'I will do it'".
