For one such sequence, where I was hanging around 30 feet above the ground in my costume, with all the accessories, an unfortunate accident happened. In addition to balancing myself, which was a task, I had to also manage my Mukut (head gear) which was around 8 kgs and the 12kg Gada. Our shoots would go on for long and therefore, I was always hanging on harness for hours. Since most of my scenes had to be aerial, I was always tied on a harness with cables.
