‘I was shocked when Salman Khan picked me up’: Himani Shivpuri recalls actor’s Hum Aapke Hain Koun improvisation

Shivpuri added, “But we used to improvise too and I played along. Soorja ji also liked it, so he kept it.” However, the next time when Salman picked her up in another scene in the movie, Shivpuri was well-versed with his plan and was not surprised this time.

She narrated, “Later, in the scene where I announce the birth of Renuka’s baby boy, then also Salman picks me up. But then I was prepared, though it was not a part of the script.”

Shivpuri also recalled having a ‘fun’ time on the set of Hum Aapke Hain Koun where all of them stayed like a family. She shared, “It was always fun to be on the set. The naughtiest one on the set was Anupam Kher. He kept playing pranks and we all used to play dumb charades too, it was just like a family.”

The film featured an ensemble cast including actors Renuka Shahane, Mohnish Bahl, Madhuri Dixit, Reema Lagoo, Alok Nath, Satish Shah, Bindu, Dilip Joshi and several others.
