 Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty who has always known as a quiet person finally took the courage to slap a fellow actor. But hang on before you jump the gun, this was only done onscreen for a scene in her forthcoming film The Man . She had to slap her co-star Sudhanshu Pandey but the actor says his leading lady, who has never slapped any of her co-stars onscreen, was very reluctant to do so. "It was an emotional scene where I was supposed to console her and she was required to slap me in a fit of rage. But Shilpa was so reluctant and scared. She had to be literally convinced to slap me to get the shot right," said Sudhanshu, a singer, model and actor. Sudhanshu said that he had to ultimately hold her hand and make her slap him to be more comfortable with the shot. "It was funny as she still couldn't do it. But since she had no option, she did it very lightly," he quipped. The actor, who featured in Sanjay Gupta's film Dus Kahaniyaan, was in the capital to attend the launch of an All Sports Bar.
