Memorable Moments from Bollywood: When Actors Lost Themselves on Set
Unforgettable On-Set Incidents in Bollywood
Actors often immerse themselves so deeply in their roles that the line between fiction and reality blurs during filming. Despite directors calling for a cut, some stars continue to perform, leading to memorable and sometimes controversial moments in Hindi cinema. Let's explore a few of these unforgettable instances.
During the filming of the song 'Ghalat Baat Hai' with Nargis Fakhri, Varun Dhawan lost his composure. Behind-the-scenes footage revealed that he continued to kiss Nargis even after his father and director, David Dhawan, repeatedly called for a cut.
Varun was so engrossed in his character that Nargis couldn't help but laugh at his antics, creating a delightful moment that later went viral.
On the set of 'Kala Patthar', Amitabh Bachchan fully embraced his 'angry young man' persona. Even after director Yash Chopra called for a cut, he continued to hit Shatrughan Sinha during a fight scene. Reports indicate that Shashi Kapoor had to intervene to calm him down.
In 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', Shah Rukh Khan added his unique flair to a scene where he fed pigeons. According to reports, he continued to call the pigeons in a humorous manner even after the scene was over, resulting in a moment that felt both odd and genuine, prompting the filmmakers to include it in the final cut.
In 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol kept joking during a scene, making Katrina Kaif laugh repeatedly. The director chose not to cut the camera, resulting in a fantastic outcome.
Vinod Khanna delivered many memorable romantic scenes in his films, but his scene with Madhuri Dixit in 'Dayavan' left a lasting impression. During the shoot, he became so engrossed that he accidentally bit her lip.
While filming 'Anjaana Safar', actress Rekha had an unpleasant experience when director Raja Nawaz shot a kissing scene with hero Biswajit Chatterjee without informing her. Rekha was distressed while Biswajit continued with the scene, a moment she later recounted in her biography.
