Salman Khan helped Divya Dutta complete a difficult scene
During a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Divya Dutta recalled she found it difficult to hold her breath while shooting for a death scene in Veergati. The actress shared that after some time the director KK Singh who was very strict started losing his patience.
Divya who was just 18 years old at that time felt scared of the director. Moreover, she was claustrophobic so couldn't hold her breath beyond a few seconds. This is when Salman Khan came to help her despite being done for the day.
Divya recalled that Salman was ready to leave and was sitting in his car when an AD told him that the "new girl" was struggling with a scene. The actress said that she had a huge crush on him and didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of him. However, he came over, sat opposite her, and asked her to follow exactly what he did.
Divya shared that he laid down on the ground next to her, and guided her through the scene step by step. "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 some time, Salman told me to shut my eyes and breathe,” she remembered.
