‘Veere Di Wedding’ BANNED In Pakistan
Rhea Kapoor’s Veere Di Wedding starring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker & Shikha Talsania in pivotal roles was released on 1st Jun, 2018 in India but its release in the neighboring country looks difficult. The movie has been banned in Pakistan and the reason for the same is its BOLD content. The movie sure has been made to push the envelope. Its premise is women empowerment and therefore it is meant to engage a dialogue on women’s sexuality and touches upon societal pressure on getting girls married early and other facets of patriarchy. But looks like the censor board in Pakistan is not very happy with its content and therefore has deemed it vulgar, due to the fact that the lead actresses cuss openly throughout the film. The board feels that the movie is not appropriate for family viewing. Sindh Censor Board has cleared the movie with a few cuts but Islamabad Censor Board is obstructing the release of Veere Di Wedding.

There are many scenes in the film which require Payal to be at her fittest & most pliable self. For the same the actress has upped her Surya Namaskar count to 150. A source close to payal says its always been her favorite workout regime, “Surya Namaskars are a full body work out mantra for payal. She used to do 60-75 surya namaskars 5-6 times a week daily but for this role she has upped it to 150. It’s exhausting but the results are for everyone to see.”
