What’s Happening
- Vidya Balan revealed a hilarious incident from the sets of Salaam-E-Ishq at the recent Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Summit.
- The actress spoke about what led to her fear of meeting Akshaye Khanna on the sets of the film.
- Vidya said, “There was a film offered to me opposite Akshaye Khanna, and for some reason, I didn’t connect with the script. But I didn’t pick up the phone and tell him that. I asked my manager to convey it to the director.”
- She added, “And then I met Akshaye on the sets of Salaam-E-Ishq. And he fired me. He was like ‘Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t want to do the film?’ I went up to John [Abraham] and said, ‘Can you please save me?’ Because I was so new, I didn’t want any confrontation. I didn’t want to hurt anyone or make anyone feel bad, or just feel like I was refusing a film with them. But of course, he was only pulling my leg. I later realized.”
