Divya Dutta REVEALS Salman Khan Helped Her Shoot A Death Scene; ‘He Sat Opposite Me…’

Bollywood actress Divya Dutta recently recalled one incident when Salman Khan helped her to shoot on death scene in the 1995 film Veergati. The actress shared that the superstar had packed up for the day but still came to help her do the scene. She mentioned that she was struggling to hold her breath for a long time then the actor came and gave some tips to act. 

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Divya said “I cannot handle closed spaces, or holding my breath. I’d completed the other scenes, but I couldn’t get through the death scene because I wasn’t able to hold my breath. I was 18 or something, and I was scared of the director, who was very strict. I’d never been scolded even at home, so I was taking his scolding very seriously.”

“Salman was packed up for the day, he was sitting in his car. Some AD told him that the new girl is struggling with a scene. Salman came over. I had a huge crush on him, and I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of him as well. He sat opposite me, and told me to follow exactly what he does. He lay down on the ground next to me, and guided me through the scene. He’d say, ‘I’ve held my breath now’, and I would also hold my breath. I kept looking directly at him, and he gave me a count. Even the director backed off because he knew that Salman was handling it. Then, after 10 seconds, Salman told me to shut my eyes and breathe,” she added.
