Veteran actor Ashok Saraf, who is known for his comic roles, played a villain in Salman Khan starrer Jaagruti (1992). However, portraying a negative role wasn’t a piece of cake as he had a near-death experience while shooting the film. In a recent interview, Saraf revealed that he got his throat cut during a scene, when Salman had put too much pressure holding a real knife.
During a conversation with Radia Nasha Official, the actor recalled the incident and said, “He was holding my throat with a knife and it was a real knife. Uski jo nok hoti hai vo kaat ke gayi aise… As soon as we started saying the dialogues, I tried to escape from his hands. Salman zor se daba rahe the and then I said, ‘Dheere se dabaao, katt raha hai yahan par’ (He was putting a lot of pressure with the knife, I asked him to dial it down).
He added, “He then asked me what he should do, maine bola ulta pakdo na. He said that the camera is facing towards us, dikh jaayega usme, then maine socha chhorro. We did the scene and when I saw later, there was a deep cut on my throat. Agar yahan ki nass katt jaati toh hum udhar hi…Main kabhi nahi bhoolunga (My nerve would have cut, I will never forget it). I am not sure if he (Salman) remembers this. Aise aadmi kisi ko yaad nahi rehte, bhool jaate hain.”
Besides Salman Khan and Ashok Saraf, Jaagruti also featured Karisma Kapoor, Shiva Rindani, Pankaj Dheer, and Prem Chopra. The film received mixed reviews and collected average box office numbers. Salman and Ashok have starred in many films together, including, Karan Arjun, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Bandhan, and many others.
On the professional front Salman Khan was last seen in the action drama Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. He will next be seen in the sequel of his popular 2012 film Kick, which was officially in October. The actor also has a film based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict, directed by Apoorva Lakhia.
