Sonali Recalls Fighting During Shoots With Salman

Recalling the time when they were shooting, she said, “We were fighting all the time. I promise you, I mean, you know I should ask Salman about it then. Because whenever I was giving close-ups, Salman would be making faces at me. And I would get so pissed off that I would say, ‘What the hell?’ But you know, yeah. Through the making of this film, I got to know Salman. And you know, Salman makes it very difficult to like him. Because you grow to see that he hides what he is, a softy inside. Actually, he puts on a really rough exterior, but he’s a softy. But you know what it took me time because I was like, what the hell, but it took me a while actually to figure out that he’s a nice guy.”

When shown a picture of the iconic golden colour ghagra from Hum Saath Saath Hain, Sonali recalled, “The ghagra was about 20 kilos in weight and had zari work, the fake jewellery I wore gave me allergies and rashes everywhere. to take a turn in that ghagra itself took 4 beats more.”
