Salman zor se daba rahe the and then I said, 'Dheere se dabaao, katt raha hai yahan par' (He was putting a lot of pressure with the knife, I asked him to dial it down).
He added, 'He then asked me what he should do, maine bola ulta pakdo na. He said that the camera is facing towards us, dikh jaayega usme, then maine socha chhorro. We did the scene and when I saw later, there was a deep cut on my throat. Agar yahan ki nass katt jaati toh hum udhar hi…Main kabhi nahi bhoolunga (My nerve would have cut, I will never forget it). I am not sure if he (Salman) remembers this. Aise aadmi kisi ko yaad nahi rehte, bhool jaate hain.'
