Shahid In Danger — Kareena In Tears

Shahid In Danger — Kareena In Tears

Apr 7th, 2007 by bollywood boogie

During the filming of Firoz Nadiadwala's Fool And Final, Shahid managed to escape a very dangerous situation. Shahid was shooting a stunt that required him to be harnessed and the pulley holding him up snapped. Here's what a source on site had said:

It was a song sequence. There were 16 mounted pulleys and 120 men pulling up many dancers, including Shahid. Never before in the history of Indian cinema has such a dangerous and exciting dance sequence been picturised. While shooting, the left wire of Shahid's pulley suddenly snapped. Luckily, he was not dreaming. He is very active and agile and immediately held on to the right wire of the pulley to balance himself.

Shahid also has very big fear of heights, the source explains:

The cloth had been hung so that Shahid would not feel the great height he was coming down from. Shahid has a vertigo problem and is scared of heights – just like Aamir Khan.When the cloth snapped, I almost fainted. There was a pulley holding Shahid from the top, and there was also a safety net below. I wondered how he would manage. Lekin ho gaya.

Kareena was on the phone with him the whole time and she was in tears and very scared for Shahid:

She was very scared and Ahmed kept assuring her that nothing would happen. To compound her tension, Shahid did not speak to her until the shot was okayed.

This is all after a previous stunt had already gone wrong. We're glad to know everything turned out okay and that everyone is safe. Here to read the full story.
