Flashback Friday: When Shah Rukh Khan was petrified of standing under a waterfall wearing a white dhoti for Dil Se
Farah Khan reveals an interesting bit about Shah Rukh Khan from the shoot of Dil Se.
Shah Rukh Khan, Manisha Koirala and Preity Zinta's Dil Se is one film that has been loved and revered by the audience even today. The movie's actors, songs, plot and just about everything has left a lasting impact in the minds of the movie lovers. And Jiya Jale is one song that we managed to play on loop even today.
Recently, when we spoke to Farah Khan, who completed 25 years in Bollywood, we came to know a little trivia about SRK during the shoot of Dil Se. Farah revealed that during the movie's shoot she managed to scare SRK to the extent that the actor skipped a day's shoot on the movie.
On hearing this statement from Farah, we were quite intrigued and asked her to reveal more.
When we probed the choreographer-turned-director about it, she revealed, "My most remembered song would be Chaiya Chaiya. It was on top of a train. We haven't seen anything of that sort ever. We shot on the train and behaved like it was completely normal. However, shooting wise, my most difficult song was Jiya Jale when we shot near the waterfall. There were 1000 steps down leading to the waterfall, which was still okay. But we had to walk climb back those 1000 steps, which was very difficult, after a long day. I still remember I had scared SRK then that I will make him wear a white dhoti, a transparent one and make him stand under the waterfall. He got petrified."
She continues, "He was like 'How can you do that?' I was like why? For years you guys have made the actresses wear a white saree and made them stand under the waterfall! So I am just doing the reverse of it. I think that was the only one day in his entire career that SRK didn't turn up for the shoot. If you see that section in the song, you will realize that it only has Preity Zinta. There is no SRK in it. And when we asked SRK why he didn't come for the shoot, he gave random excuses like - I lost the way, my car got stuck in the jungle and all. Later, he told me I was petrified that you will make me wear a dhoti and make me stand under the waterfall."
