Anil shared that the temperature around them was around -30 or -40 degree celsius. 'I was taking a lot of interest in the costume so I suggested that Madhuri should be in a chiffon saree but I was wearing 6-7 layers,' he shared with a laugh. Madhuri, who was sitting next to him, added, 'He was wearing a sweater, a few layers under that, a jacket on top, big boots, muffler and gloves while I was in chiffons.' Anil further recalled, 'So there was a lot of wind when we were shooting but then suddenly the wind stopped. Since we needed the wind for continuity, I suggested that we should get the chopper to fly on top.' Madhuri then narrated her experience as she was shooting in biting cold wearing a thin saree. 'I was turning blue with every minute. You couldn't even tell if I was lip syncing because my face was frozen. And here, Anil was yelling, 'get the chopper down because her saree isn't flying'. But as the chopper came down, I started shivering even more. For the first time in my life, I started yelling and crying loudly,' she said. Madhuri shared she started screaming, 'I cannot do this anymore' and everyone in the unit 'got scared.'
