Now, 32 years later, Shilpa has shared the real story behind this scene.


Challenges of filming

In an interview, Shilpa Shetty told that technologies like VFX or CGI were not available at that time. String work was used to film this scene. He said that he had to do 15 to 20 takes to get the scene right and the entire process took about four days.

Technical limitations and characteristics of film

Shilpa also said that if this film is watched carefully today, one can also see a glimpse of the string which could not be removed due to the technical limitations of that time. According to him, ‘Baazigar’ was a film much ahead of its time, whose story and characters left a deep impression on the audience.


Shilpa’s film journey

The film became a resounding success at the box office and Shilpa’s acting was also appreciated. This film gave him a strong identity in Hindi cinema and marked the successful beginning of his career.
