MUMBAI: Actress Mandana Karimi recalls bruising herself while practising pole dance for her role in the new web series, "The Casino".

"I practised for a couple of days for the pole dance scene. Of course, I didn't manage to do it like a professional pole dancer but yes, I tried my best. During the practice, my whole body was bruised and while we were shooting they had to cover all those bruises with makeup because I had to perform it anyhow that day. I think it went pretty smooth and nice," said Mandana.
