Actor Divya Dutta is currently in the spotlight for her recently released show Chiraiya on JioHotstar, which explores themes of marital rape and consent. Amid the ongoing conversation around the series, the actor shared a lighthearted memory from the sets of Veer-Zaara during a recent exclusive interaction with Bollywood Hungama.
The 2004 film, directed by Yash Chopra and starring Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji, featured Divya Dutta in an important supporting role. Recalling a moment from the shoot, she described how an unexpected mishap during a scene turned into a memorable experience for everyone on set.
Speaking about the incident, she said: “One experience would be, I am crazily clumsy. And we were doing a scene where Shah Rukh is supposed to come and I am supposed to get up. So the walls were made of POP, of course, it was a set. And when I used to get up, I was sitting on a chaarpai. So as soon as I got up, the chaarpai would get up. And the whole wall would fall down.”
The actress further added, “I have a problem with laughter. So if I start laughing, I can't stop it. I mean, if I see someone laughing, I am done. Now there's Yash Chopra, there's Aditya Chopra, there's like everybody right there. And there is Shah Rukh. So I was very embarrassed.”
She shared that despite trying to stay composed during another attempt at the scene, things did not go as planned: “I did the same thing. I said, now I will keep a little less excitement. This time it will be very good. I don't know what I did in the process. The entire wall fell on me. I was anyways very embarrassed. But I was laughing. So I said, man, I can't do this. I can't laugh in front of them.”
She continued, “Suddenly, I see this Shah Rukh controlling his laughter. Tears in my eyes. That's it. I am done. I started laughing. He started laughing. We couldn't stop. And Yash uncle, standing there said, ‘If you both are done, let us know. Till then we will fix the wall’. It was hilarious. But I must say, working with Shah Rukh is one of the finest experiences I have had as an actor.”
