The 1994 Bollywood blockbuster Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, remains one of Indian cinema's most iconic films, with several scenes still etched in the memories of audiences. But did you know that one of its most popular scenes was inspired by a real-life incident from director Sooraj Barjatya's childhood?
The filmmaker recently revealed the amusing backstory during an appearance on the fifth season of Netflix's popular show The Great Indian Kapil Show.
Responding to a question from actor Ayushmann Khurrana, Sooraj Barjatya explained that the famous scene in which Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit run after a shoe-stealing incident before falling onto and breaking a bed was inspired by an incident from when he was just 13 years old.
According to the director, he attended a wedding in Mumbai at the age of 13. During the event, a young woman slapped one of his cousins. Seeking revenge, he began chasing the woman. During the chase, the two eventually fell onto a bed, breaking it in the process.
Years later, Barjatya recreated that amusing childhood memory on the big screen, turning it into one of the most memorable moments in Indian cinema.
During the conversation, Archana Puran Singh also brought up Barjatya's calm and composed personality. When asked whether the director ever loses his temper, the other celebrities present said he rarely gets angry.
However, Barjatya offered a slightly different response with a smile, suggesting that Abhishek and Kareena might have some other stories about his temper.
When asked about the harshest thing he had ever said to someone, he jokingly suggested that Archana ask Salman Khan how much he had scolded her.
Released in 1994, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, created a huge sensation among Indian families and became one of Bollywood's most celebrated family entertainers.
Besides the remarkable chemistry between Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, the film's songs including Didi Tera Devar Deewana, Pehla Pehla Pyar and Jute De Do Paise Le Lo continue to remain popular among movie lovers.
