Madhuri Dixit once screamed at this actor, she started crying and…, his name is…, the reason was…
In the dazzling world of Bollywood, the reel and real life of celebrities often become a blur. The on-screen chemistry of celebrities is often idealised and widely hailed. One such story is of a on-screen pair whose chemistry lit up the screen, creating an unmatchable magic that ruled the box office.
The duo that we are talking about is none other than Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor. In the late 80s and 90s, this pairing was considered lucky as they delivered hit after hit together. From Tezaab, Ram Lakhan, or Beta, audiences couldn’t get enough of their on-screen romance. But behind the magic that they created through their romantic pairing were some behind-the-scenes that never came into the limelight. To execute these perfect romantic scenes, there were stories of discomfort and struggle.
One such moment happened in the year 2000, when Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit shot for a film called Apna Pukar, which was never released in the theatres.
Set in the romantic landscape of Alaska, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit went to shoot their romantic song called “Kismat Se Tum Humko Mile” in the sub-zero temperatures. While the location was aesthetically breathtaking, its cold temperature made it physically discomforting for them. Especially because Madhuri had to shoot donning a thin layered chiffon saree in this scorching cold.
During the appearance of Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor on The Kapil Sharma Show, the duo spilled some beans on their behind-the-scenes moments of Apna Pukar. Recalling with joy, Anil Kapoor revealed that he got scolded by Madhuri Dixit during the shoot, and the reason behind that also had us in splits.
Anil said that he was fully covered in layers of warm clothes – a full suit, muffler, gloves, and boots. Whereas Madhuri was donning a delicate chiffon saree. Anil admitted that he suggested that Madhuri wear the saree in such freezing temperatures. He added he even suggested flying a helicopter overhead to generate artificial wind. “When we were shooting, there was a lot of wind, but then suddenly the wind stopped. But the need of the scene was that the icy winds should continue to blow, and the song should be shot. In such a situation, I suggested to the makers that we should fly the helicopter from above,” he said.
What followed later was an unforgettable moment for Madhuri. As the helicopter hovered to create the desired wind effect, the already freezing Madhuri began to shiver uncontrollably. She said, “I was turning blue. My face was frozen, and I couldn’t even lip-sync properly.” She finally broke down. “I screamed and shouted for the first time in my life and then started crying,” she confessed.
