Salman is a very kind human being: Bhumika Chawla

Published

on

Actress Bhumika Chawla made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan-starrer ‘Tere Naam’ in 2003. The actress recalls shooting with Salman Khan and said that she never felt like a newbie on the set.

“‘Tere Naam’ was my debut Bollywood film and I had a very good experience. I remember we were shooting at the Birla temple, the daylight was fading out and I was taking a little extra time to do the shot. Salman was very supportive and he told everyone to let me do it the way I want to and to not put any pressure on me. Satish Kaushik ji even encouraged me a lot,” she said.

“Then when we were shooting in Manali and my mother was not well. Salman called the doctor himself and brought him to our room. He is a very kind and good human being. Throughout the shoot of the film he was very supportive. He was never in a hurry and would ask me to take my time,” she added.

The ‘Seetimaarr’ actress shared that with every new film of hers, she tries to do something different, and said: “I strongly feel if you keep repeating the same kind of character, the audience also gets bored. And if you don’t try new characters, then you don’t grow as an actor too, so I try to do different characters, even if it means just a little bit different.”

Mallika Sherawat had made a shocking statement some time back when she revealed that she missed out on a lot of roles because big actors wanted her to “compromise”. When asked if Bhumika too had a similar experience, she said: “I stopped watching news a while back and I am honestly not aware of what someone has said or done. But if Mallika Sherawat has said this then it must have happened with her. However, it did not happen to me.”

“By God’s grace the industry has always been very supportive of me. I have never faced any such circumstances because I feel people’s reaction also depends on how you carry yourself and your personality. I also feel that one must be cordial with everyone but should set some boundaries too. I would talk to everyone but people knew there were certain boundaries which they shouldn’t cross and that’s why this type of incident never happened with me,” Bhumika concluded.

Mumbai, Oct 11: Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan once revealed that actress Deepika Padukone eats something every 3 minutes.

As Big B hosted Deepika and filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, Amitabh decided to shed light on Deepika’s ‘regular eating schedule ‘.

He shared, “Normally, a person has three meals in a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have experienced that she [Deepika] eats every three minutes.”

“Every three minutes, someone gets food for her in a bowl, and she never asks me if I want some too,” Big B added.

Deepika immediately countered him, revealing that her version of the conversation was a bit different.

The ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actress shared, “Whenever I would open my dabba, Amit ji would come and ask me again and again what I am eating.”

Reacting to this in a hilarious manner, Amitabh said, “Lying is not permitted on this show!”

Farah also pitched in, sharing her views on Deepika’s food preferences. Revealing the secret behind their successful professional association, the ‘Main Hoon Na’ maker said, “This is why Deepika Padukone works with me, since I get her food from home.”

While they were on the subject, Big B complained that Farah had never shared her homemade biryani with him. Responding to this, Farah explained to the veteran actor that biryani was not prepared for vegetarians at her home.

“Sir, at my home there is no Biryani preparation for vegetarians. There is only Veg Pulao,” Farah said.

Refreshing your memory, Deepika made her big screen debut with Farah Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan.

Additionally, Deepika shared screen space with Amitabh in Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Piku’, which also featured late Irrfan Khan in a crucial role.

Released in the cinema halls on 8 May 2015, ‘Piku’ garnered critical acclaim, with viewers lauding the performances for Big B, Deepika and Irrfan.

A video also went viral where Imran was heard saying ‘Jai Hind’ to the police.

In another clip, he spoke about his detention, saying, “I honestly don’t know why I have been brought here. They picked all of us from the streets and asked us to sit in the vans.”

Imran further revealed that he and the others were driven around in the police van for approximately two hours before their release.

Before entering the van, the ‘Delhi Belly’ actor also shared that he did not have any specific demands but had come simply as a citizen of Mumbai.

“Sir, I don’t have any demands. I don’t have any status to demand anything from people. Nor am I a part of any organization, so I don’t speak as a representative,” he shared.

Imran’s girlfriend, Lekha Washington, and cousin, Zayn Marie Khan, were also detained from the August Kranti Maidan along with him.

Both Lekha and Zayn also shared constant updates from the police van on their social media handles.
