Sushmita Sen on working with Salman Khan
When asked whether Sushmita came close to working with Salman Khan for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film probably in 2019, the actress said, "It was under discussion; we never came close enough to it. It was still under discussion."
Recalling the shoot days for Biwi No. 1's Chunari Chunari, Sushmita shared, "We shot in Miami in Fort Lauderdale. We shot in the US quite extensively. Chunari Chunari was in San Fransisco, San Jose, and it was the Golden Bridge. We were freezed due to extreme cold. Salman Khan is wearing a polo neck, wearing a blazer, he got inners, and he's wearing a yellow suit. Yours truly is in lehenga choli, and it's freezing, and the whole unit is covered in woolen clothes."
Sushmita continued, "The thermostat as an actress... shooting in the peak of winter, I think women have just developed this ability to wear chiffon saree anywhere, and the same goes for the song. We were just freezing. When David brought that song to me, I was like, 'What is this song?' David is like, 'It's a hit song.' I turned to Salman and said, 'You think that's a hit song?' So Salman's like, 'Come, we will show you.' So we get down to shoot this song, and by that time it released that year, it was at every wedding. That's a song that remains very special."
