Recalling an incident, the actress-turned-sanyasi (monk) stated that during the shooting for a dance sequence in Karan Arjun, the two were supposed to dance with her initially. However, the preceding night, their dance master informed her that only she would have to dance.
The next day, she completed her dance in a single take in front of three cameras. But soon after, she saw both SRK and Salman sitting behind the bushes and laughing. "In the next shot, both of them were made to walk on their knees, and there were 25 retakes in front of a crowd of 5,000 people," Kulkarni divulged.
