Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit created magic in 'Dil'. But a prank almost caused chaos. Aamir's joke involving spitting on Madhuri's hand backfired. Madhuri grabbed a hockey stick. She chased Aamir around the set. This incident became a famous Bollywood story. They only starred in one more film together. Both later became huge stars.

Aamir Khan
became Bollywood's Mr Perfectionist and
Madhuri Dixit
earned her title as the Dhak Dhak girl, the two lit up screens with their sizzling chemistry in the 1990 blockbuster Dil. But while the film became a cult favourite, what many don't know is that a hilarious behind-the-scenes moment nearly sparked a war—complete with a hockey stick.
During his appearance on
Farhan Akhtar
's talk show Oye! It's Friday, Aamir recalled a prank he once played on Madhuri Dixit while shooting Dil. Pretending to read her palm, he delivered a series of dramatic lines about her being emotional and gullible—only to end the act by suddenly spitting on her hand as a joke. Unsurprisingly, the prank didn't go down well, and Madhuri was left furious.
The superstar prank didn't land as expected—when he spat on Madhuri's hand during the fake palm reading, she was furious.
In fact, she grabbed a hockey stick and chased him around the set in anger. Madhuri later confirmed the incident, admitting she had indeed chased Aamir during the shoot of Dil.
