The summer sun has begun beating down relentlessly and the long shooting schedules have become a sweaty, tiring affair for actors and crewmembers. However, while shooting for director Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s film Action Replayy with Akshay Kumar, the film’s leading actress Aishwarya Rai seemed unconcerned about the heat even though everyone on the sets sweated buckets.

The director was obviously curious to know Ash’s secret of beating the heat, and find it out he did. The secret was Ash’s mama Vrinda Rai’s homemade recipe - kokum juice. Yes, Ash’s mother would visit the movie’s sets with a pitcher of kokum juice for the actress. It worked wonders in fighting the heat.

“The only person who would be completely unaffected with the heat was Ash. That's when we all realised about her kokum juice,” Shah is quoted as saying. Once the secret was out everyone wanted a glass of the heat-beater juice. And Ash’s ma would gladly distribute it among the crew.
