MUMBAI: Renowned Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji recently shared a chilling incident from the past when she had to be carried to her car after freezing during the filming of the song 'Tumhi Dekho Na' from the romantic drama Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Directed by Karan Johar and released in 2006, the film explored themes of marital infidelity and strained relationships.
During the Galatta Plus Mega Pan India Roundtable 2023, Karan Johar discussed the challenges of shooting in freezing temperatures with Alia Bhatt. Rani Mukerji, part of the conversation, recalled a similar experience during the filming of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and emphasized Karan's lack of consideration at the time.
Rani Mukerji recounted the extreme cold she faced while wearing a red saree for the song. She mentioned freezing to the point where she couldn't walk. Ayan Mukerji, her cousin and an assistant director on set, had to carry her to the car because of the freezing conditions. Rani pointed out that in the lip sync portions of the song, her lips appeared frozen, adding an uncomfortable dimension to the visually sensual scene.
