Trial by fire

Sharad Malhotra almost lost his life when a stunt scene had him trapped in a burning car, on the sets of …Dulhann

Sharad Malhotra trapped in the burning car

Stunts can really prove injurious to health if you are not careful. A good example of this is Sharad Malhotra's recent experience that almost had him charred to death. Sharad Malhotra aka Sagar had a close brush with death when performing a stunt for a scene in the serial Banoo Main Teri Dulhann. It was a scene where Sharad was supposed to be trapped in a car that had caught fire. Incidentally, Sharad got trapped in the burning car and escaped death by a few seconds.

"It was a frightening experience. I thought I would jump out of the car as soon as it caught fire. But somehow the door got stuck and I didn't know what to do. I began screaming; but my director thought I was just enacting the scene well! It was a sunny day and getting stuck in a burning car was like experiencing a volcano. I thought I was going to die. Thankfully as my director Ismail called for 'cut', he realised that I was actually asking for help. Thankfully, the fight master and crew members came to my rescue."

The three minutes that he survived in the burning car was like experiencing death - every moment. After the incident, Sharad was shivering uncontrollably. "I just thank God that I am alive now. My only solace is that the scene turned out really well," he adds.

Most of the time, people prefer to opt for a body double for such risky stunts. But Sharad prefers doing his own stunts. "The experience still haunts me. I guess, I have to be careful in future when performing such stunts," Sharad says. Careful buddy, you don't want bravado to bake you beyond recognition.

Holy cow, eitherway, why didn't they just computerize the screen? Even if you use a stuntman, its still someones life plus don't they do this all the time with computers?
