Ameesha Patel was last seen in ‘Gadar 2‘. The actress who has now completed 25 years in the industry, is now seeing the re-release of her debut film, ‘Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai’ with Hrithik Roshan. While talking about the re-release, Ameesha also discussed her journey and the memories on her last release ‘Gadar 2’, which broke records at the box office. Ameesha revealed that shooting some parts of the film was mentally, physically quite draining for her.
The actress recalled filming a very difficult scene for the movie. She spoke during a chat with Jarp Media, “It was physically and mentally draining. When I had spoken to Anil Sharma ji, I had said, ‘Anil ji, I’ll fall sick, please make sure that the water is hot.’ He had said, ‘haan, there will be hot water, don’t worry.’ However, when I went for the shot, I was wearing a thin cotton salwar kameez… This is the problem with heroines, unlike heroes who wear their jackets and leg warmers under their kurta pyjama. We can’t do that… The first time the water was showered on it, and I was shocked as it was freezing cold.”
She added, “After I finished the scene, which people don’t know, but my staff knows. They had to lift me and take me to my make-up van. I was unconscious. I did not wake up for three to four hours. People thought I was dead. Literally, I had reached the stage where people said, ‘she won’t survive.’ They had wrapped me in woolen blankets. When I finally woke up after four hours and opened my eyes, I was like, ‘where am I?’ I had zoned out. I had no recollection what I had gone through in those four hours. My team, people on the unit sighed in relief when I was up.”
The actress described took immense care of her by rubbing her feet, keep her warm with some drinks and gave her blankets. However, despite their efforts, Ameesha’s condition deteriorated, and she eventually lost consciousness.
Ameesha further revealed how her on-screen Tara Singh, aka Sunny Deol came to her rescue and constantly supported her. “Sunny sir was my real-life Tara Singh. He was there for Sakina when I needed him. You won’t believe he got a blood pressure machine from his room to check my blood pressure, checked my temperature with a thermometer. We have a common doctor in Mumbai, Sunny was making calls to him because the local doctors there wanted to inject me because I was constantly vomiting. But Sunny did not want me to take any wrong injection that did not suit me. So he was so sweet. He was checking with Dr Agarwal (their doctor in Mumbai) to check what suits me and what does not. He was so sweet. He is my real-life Tara.”
