TOI:When Sarrtaj held a wild King Cobra

Handling wild animals and reptiles when you have to shoot for a sequence is one thing. But going out of way to experience the thrill of wildlife is taking adventure to a new level. Sarrtaj Gil, who is seen in 'Begusarai', was so taken in by the wild King Cobra that was brought in for a shoot that he insisted the snake charmer let him handle it.



He said, "The snake charmer had got a cobra from the forest. I was curious to hold him, and asked the snake charmer to help me with it. The snake felt slimy in my hands. I was scared first, but got over my fear soon."
