It's Bollywood Day 2!

Turned up on set in a suit and newly acquired white shirt as per request from production (why Bollywood think that Business people only dress in white  shirts is beyond me!). Catering had been set up in a side street and after a lovely Sunday morning fry up we got into the mini van to travel to location. This was an empty office building in the middle of the city. Filming began quickly and I had to stand and talk to the receptionist and then walk up and down the corridor - pretty ordinary really. Next, we lined up to hand picked for the board room scene and I was lucky enough to be chosen. We sat round the board room table and the main actors gave us a short presentation. Great stuff.

Lunch followed and we finally got to eat Indian food at last! Very delicious it was too. I think this must have been to set us up for hours of tedium that followed. Everybody had to change into evening wear for a banquet. We were a little stuck on places to change and putting  tights on in the front seat of a car was never going to be a great idea.  I found the changing area and went in to be greeted by 

"Felicity! Can't believe you're here!" It was a beautiful woman named Hemma who I had met whilst working on Lee Nelsons Well Good show. She was getting dressed into the most beautiful Sari and looked truly stunning. It was so good to see her again. By this time, hours had begun to pass. Production hadn't realised that the clocks had changed and had gone forward by one hour which meant standing around for a while (a long while) until darkness fell. The temperature also fell...

Finally, we were taken to the great hall and were given seats at certain tables. I was right at the back well out of sight but as the room was so beautiful, it didn't really matter, plus with seven other people at the table we all had plenty to talk about. More red grape juice was forthcoming and 'champagne' toasts given. I had an opportunity to sit next to a wonderful lady called Anne with whom  I had loads in common with. Hopefully I will work with her again one day. Finally it was a wrap and I volunteered to give David a lift back to collect his bike. It probably would have been quicker to walk as the sat nav decided that going round the block was the way to go....

That was the last of my Bollywood adventures but my mobile has texts stating that more filming is imminent!
