When Anil Kapoor & Parmeet Sethi missed a flight mid-sauna in Istanbul #10yearsofDilDhadakneDo

As 'Dil Dhadakne Do' marks its 10th anniversary, actor Parmeet Sethi reminisced about a hilarious travel mishap that involved co-star Anil Kapoor during the film's shoot.In a conversation with SCREEN, Parmeet opened up about the unforgettable incident that unfolded while the two were en route to the film's international shoot location.A Mediterranean Dream Turned Comedy of ErrorsParmeet Sethi described the shoot of 'Dil Dhadakne Do,' set largely aboard a luxurious cruise ship in the Mediterranean, as one of the most enriching and unique experiences of his career. “We were all together as an ensemble cast, shooting on a ship… it felt like a rare, special project,” he said. But amidst the camaraderie and scenic settings, one travel misstep still stands out a decade later.The Sauna That Cost Them a FlightRecalling a layover in Istanbul en route to Barcelona, Parmeet narrated how he and Anil Kapoor were unwinding in the business class lounge, unaware that time was slipping away. “We were chatting and enjoying the food. Then there was a sauna and steam room, so Anil said, ‘Chalo kapde utaarte hain, jaate hain araam se’,” Parmeet laughed.He had misread the Turkish display, mistaking the flight’s departure time for the boarding time. The two actors were mid-spa when an airline staff member rushed in to alert them their flight was about to leave. “Anil was in a towel, and I had to drag him out. We ran nearly 2-3 km through the airport, but the gate had closed,” Parmeet recalled with a mix of humour and regret.Anil Kapoor’s Calm ResponseThough visibly embarrassed by his blunder, Parmeet said Anil Kapoor reacted with grace. “I kept apologising, but he said his staff should have called him. He didn’t blame me at all,” he shared. The duo ended up spending an unplanned night in Istanbul, making it a travel tale they’d never forget. “It was a rookie mistake. Even now, I laugh about it, but I still can’t meet anyone’s eye when I think of that day,” Parmeet admitted.
