Actress Sayani Gupta recently opened up about the physical challenges she faced while wearing a striking lilac cage dress during the filming of "Four More Shots Please 4." The bold outfit, designed by homegrown label Itrh, featured a hard metal construction that proved super uncomfortable for the star.
The Uncomfortable Reality Behind the Glamour
Sayani Gupta explained that the embellished tafetta dress, valued at approximately Rs. 1,67,999, created significant discomfort throughout her shooting schedule. Its rigid metal framework left paper-like cuts all over her body, while the extra weight of the garment added to her physical strain.
Three Days of Continuous Wear
Despite the discomfort, Gupta wore the corseted mini dress for three consecutive days to maintain visual consistency in her shots. The actress managed through the scrapes and heaviness, demonstrating professional commitment to her role in the popular streaming series.
Social Media Revelation
Gupta shared her experience alongside a stunning beach photograph where she posed with a cocktail, wearing the complex lilac stone-detailed dress. The cage dress created a strong, edgy style that paired perfectly with white strappy heels and a substantial choker necklace.
In her candid caption, the actress wrote about the outfit being perhaps the hardest she has ever worn, with many contenders for that title in her career. She mentioned that costume designer Aastha Sharma had told her during trials that no one else could pull off the challenging look.

The fourth season of "Four More Shots Please" features returning lead stars including Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari, Bani J, and Maanvi Gagroo. The finale brings together the core four alongside returning actors Prateik Babbar, Milind Soman, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Ankur Rathee.
