Ayesha Takia doing catapult scene in De Taali

It seems that if there is any thing, which Ayesha Takia would want to forget, it's the catapult scene she shot for De Taali in Auckland. The actress had to shoot for a scene, which required her to be in a three-seater catapult at a great height, along with co-actors Ritesh Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani.
But as Ayesha fears heights, she kept refusing to do the scene. Eventually, Ritesh and Aftab managed to persuade her into doing it, but Ayesha soon realised that she was in for more than what she had bargained for. In fact, according to Aftab, Ayesha was fooled into it. Ayesha simply wouldn't do it. So they told her that they are not taking the shot. They convinced her that let's just strap us and sit. When the catapult began, she started screaming uncontrollably. Their eardrums almost went bust! The shot, which is retained in this film, is the real moment.
Ayesha found it difficult to turn down the crowd that was cheering and egging her on, along with her co-stars who were urging her too. Ayesha said that it became a matter of pride for her, so she gave in. She thought that she was going to die; she’ll regret that for the rest for of her life.
As if that was not all, they were later required to bungee jump from a height of 300 meters. Wiser from her earlier experience, Ayesha firmly put her foot down and declined to jump. She told the director that she will surely die if she does that and his film will be trapped. He changed his mind and she was saved.
