When Shilpa Shirodkar almost drowned in water while shooting for 'Hum', Govinda pulled her up: 'I was in leather pant, no life jacket'
Bollywood actor Shilpa Shirodkar recently looked back on a frightening incident from the early 1990s when she nearly drowned while shooting the song 'Sanam Mere Sanam' with Govinda for the film 'Hum'. She revealed that film sets at the time lacked even basic safety measures, with no life jackets or rescue arrangements in place.
During the latest episode of 'India's Best Dancer Season 5', Shilpa received a special video message from Govinda, who fondly recalled their successful collaborations before sharing the dramatic behind-the-scenes story.
Remembering 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?’ Gayi paani mein. Phir? 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?’ (She didn’t know how to swim. Honestly, I wasn’t a very good swimmer either. Shilpa suddenly sank into the water while I was left navigating the boat alone. I kept shouting, ‘Where is Shilpa?’ She had disappeared underwater. I jumped in and pulled her out. As soon as she came out, she scolded everyone in Marathi, saying she had already told them she didn’t know how to swim and questioned why she had been made to do the shot)."
