New Delhi, january 13, 2026: High fashion often looks effortless on screen, but behind the glittering frames of Four More Shots Please! Season 4, actress Sayani Gupta recently revealed the painful reality of one of her most iconic looks. Playing the fierce and ambitious Damini Rizvi Roy, Gupta is no stranger to bold style, but a specific lilac metal dress pushed her dedication to the absolute limit.
The outfit in question is a Lilac Tafetta Embellished Cage Dress from the homegrown luxury label Itrh. Priced at a staggering ₹1,67,999, the dress features an architectural, corseted silhouette adorned with intricate stone details. While the ensemble made for a breathtaking visual against the scenic beach backdrop of the show, the material was anything but user-friendly.
The “cage” design was constructed from hard metal, making the garment exceptionally heavy and rigid. Gupta took to social media to share that the dress was “heavy af” and that the sharp edges of the metal left her with paper cuts and scrapes all over her body.
In the world of filmmaking, “continuity” is king. If a scene takes three days to film, the actor must look identical in every shot. For Sayani, this meant enduring the “torturous” metal dress for three consecutive days.
“This metal dress with stones was perhaps the hardest outfit one has worn… left paper cuts from the metal all over my body,” the actress shared in a candid Instagram post.
She further joked about the absurdity of the situation, mentioning that her stylist, Aastha Sharma, told her during the trial that nobody else could pull it off. Gupta’s witty response? “Not sure I agree, but no one is so stupid to even try!”
This isn’t the first time the cast of Four More Shots Please! has faced extreme conditions. From filming in freezing temperatures to navigating intense emotional arcs, the lead quartet—including Kirti Kulhari, Bani J, and Maanvi Gagroo—has consistently prioritized the show’s aesthetic and narrative needs over personal comfort.
Season 4 Quick Facts:
Despite the physical toll, Gupta insists the look was “worth it,” officially inducting the lilac masterpiece into her personal “hall of looks.” It serves as a stark reminder to fans that the “unapologetic” glamour of the show often comes with a hidden price tag of physical endurance and sheer willpower.
As the series reaches its final chapter, moments like these highlight why the bond between these characters—and the actresses who play them—has resonated so deeply with audiences for four seasons.
