After playing Pakistani housewife Munira in film Raazi, now Amruta will be seen playing a Christian modern girl, Lavina in Hungama’s web series Damaged. The character demanded the actor to smoke cigarettes. Amruta is a non-smoker in real life; hence, it was quite difficult for her to get the correct attitude of puffing the cigarette in. But, she is a perfectionist who can go to any extent to make sure her role is perfectly portrayed.

According to the sources, the 33-year-old actor literally puffed whooping 40 cigarettes in a day to get the shot right, damaging her vocal cords for almost two weeks.

When asked about it

Amruta said, “Yes! It’s true that I puffed around 40 cigarettes in a day, for a shot, as I wanted my character to be perfectly portrayed as and how the script demanded. Being absolute virgin towards smoking, it was quite a challenge for me to get comfortable into the smoking skin and get the right body language and attitude of smokers. I gathered courage and went ahead only for the sake of my work. I always yell at my smoker friends and try my best to kill their smoking habits. I tried my best to depict a regularly-smoking woman. I hope people will like my character as it’s quiet different and thrilling at the same time.”
