Sheeba Chaddha recalls how Salman Khan's angry avatar made her wonder if this is how stars behave

Sheeba Chaddha made her film debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.' During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actress was questioned if Bhansali, who is well-known for his temper, was truly as he is described. The actress said that she never saw him losing his control. On the other hand, she witnessed Salman Khan being "quite temperamental."

When Sheeba was asked why she felt that way, the actress said that she remembered the few incidents that took place on the sets of the film. Chaddha shared that something happened that made Salman trip or fall. She further recalled that this made him furious, and he left the set immediately. She said, "He just stormed out of the set… He slammed the door, and there was a poor old lightman who got hit, I think. But yes, he stormed off. I remember thinking, 'Baap re, is this how stars behave?'"

After this, according to Sheeba, the shooting was stopped, and the filmmaker had a conversation with the actor. Sheeba Chadda also clarified that Salman behaved nicely otherwise on the set.


In the same interview, she recalled that Salman refused to hug her, which was required for a scene in the movie. She added that Bhansali again had to have a word with him.
