In one intense scene, Rekha had to slap Aarti several times. Aarti had no idea about the harshness of the moment, and when the cameras stopped rolling, she was left in shock.

Overwhelmed, she cried for hours on the set, unable to process what had happened. Only after Rekha and director Rajkumar Santoshi spoke to her gently and explained the scene’s purpose did she calm down and continue shooting.
