Bollywood actors who actually got drunk for a scene

 As we know, we can find variety if actors in Hindi film industry who have their own method of acting. Some of them really dwell into the character and what the premises is about where there are others who just land up on sets and deliver dialogues.

In some moments, the most serious actors actually take up method acting to another level by making up their mind in order to give full justice to the moment of the characters being drunk, they need to be intoxicated. So here we look after the actors who took the leap of getting smashed before performing drunk scenes.

1. Varun Dhawan in 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania'

     This was an entertaining film that showcased the genuine and grounded love story. It boasted great performances and amazing music as well. But the lesser known fact is that Varun Dhawan had actually finished shooting the first schedule of Badlapur and climax of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania simultaneously. This actually led to a change in his process to get into the zone of his character. It became so intensive and so essentric that in the climax scene as Humpty cries at the lost opportunity of marrying Kavya, the actor actually had few glasses of whisky for the scene.


2. Vicky Kaushal in 'Sanju'

     One of the most important aspect of the superhit Sanju was Kamli played by Vicky Kaushal. A man who is always by Sanju side through thick and thin and has nothing but purest intensions. Vicky Kaushal was impeccable in the film not missing a single note with respect to his performance. In an interview with Rajeev Masand, Vicky confessed that in the scene where Kamli pleads to Sunil Dutt to save his child who is lost in the world of drugs and alcohol, he got drunk before the scene to fully commit to the moment.


3. Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan in '3 Idiots'

     The iconic drunk scene in 3 idiots as all the 3 best friends sit on the staircase at the middle of the night is our favorite moments from the film. Little known fact is that all three actors got drunk before doing the scene to bring life to the most crucial and entertaining scene. The hilarious aspect is that however three actors were drunk trying to remember their lines, numerous takes were needed as the actors kept going out of their element or took long pauses leading to a film stock getting over. 


4. Rajkumar Rao in 'City Lights'

     Rajkumar Rao is one of the most talented actors of this generation. A man who is very careful choosing commercial cinema who is attracting the masses as well as the challenging roles in lesser known films that will give all the accolades. He is also known as a method actor who uses different techniques to portray his roles. And in brilliant movie City Lights, he did so. Not a regular drinker in real life, in order to bring validity to a scene, he asked the director to take 6 pegs of vodka which eventually led him get totally wasted.


5. Aamir Khan in 'Raja Hindustani'

     We all know that Aamir Khan does his research before signing in any movie. He is one of those few actors who has the knack of identifying unique stories that also work commercially. The man in many moments also tries to imbibe the character and his struggle entirely. In the 1996 film Raja Hindustani, Aamir being a teetotaler he actually consumed a full vodka to show the emotional situation of the character Raja. He was intoxicated during the filming of a song which he confessed in an interview in 2000.
