Being an actor is not easy and comes with its own set of challenges and difficulties. While actors go through many physical transformations for each role, they also have to sit for hours to get their hair and makeup perfect and shoot for a long time wearing heavy costumes. Here are 5 Bollywood brides, who wore very heavy bridal couture in their films.

Anushka Sharma in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil: Anushka looks stunning in the bridal attire in the song Channa Mereya in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, but shooting for the song was not easy for the actress. Her bridal lehenga reportedly weighed 20 kilos and she had to climb up and down the stairs (of the palace they were shooting in) wearing this heavy lehenga for the four days they shot for this song.
