Bollywood actor Shilpa Shirodkar Recently I was looking back at a shocking incident from the early 1990s when he almost drowned while singing the song ‘Sanam Mere Sanam’ and. Govinda for the movie ‘Hum’. He revealed that films at that time had no means of protection, with no life jackets or rescue methods.In the latest episode of ‘India’s Best Dancer Season 5’, Shilpa received a special video message from Govinda, who reminisced about her success before sharing an interesting story.Recalling the incident, Govinda said, “Woh, use tairna nahi aata. Halanki mujhe bhi, main bhi koi accha swimmer toh tha nahi. Shilpa paani mein doob gayi aur main akela chala raha hoon. ‘Haye haye Shilpa kidhar hai re? Kidhar hai?’ What is wrong with me? Why? Main jaake shilpa ko baahar nikala. Ab baahar aate heen Shilpa boli, ‘Tujhya aayela…arey isse kaha tha ki mujhe abhi swimming nahi aati hain, kaaye ko isme daal diya hain?’ (He didn’t know how to swim. To be honest, I wasn’t a good swimmer either. Shilpa suddenly drowned in the water while I was left walking alone in the boat. I kept shouting, ‘Where is Shilpa?’ He disappeared under the water. I jumped and pulled him out. As soon as he came out, he criticized all the Marathi people, saying that he had already told them that he did not know how to swim and asked why he was shot.”Govinda’s video retelling left Shilpa laughing as she recreated the frenzy of the moment. Looking back on the experience, the artist said that the work environment at that time was very different from today.“Jis situation mein shot karte the, bohot gin-chun ke log the. Main leather pant mein thi aur wahan pe WB Rao Sir dusre boat mein aise bol rahe the pose karne, and I was scared because we were in the middle of the water. There were only four people. No life jacket, much less. And that’s how we worked at that time. (The shooting conditions were very different. There were very few people on the set. I wore leather pants, while WB Rao sir was in another boat asking me to stand. I was scared because we were in the middle of the water with only four people. There were no life jackets or any protective equipment. This is how we worked back then).For those who don’t know, ‘Hum’ had a mixed team Amitabh BachchanRajinikanth, Govinda, Shilpa Shirodkar and Kimi Katkar.
