The Door Slam That Stunned the Set
Sheeba recalled a moment on set when Salman apparently tripped or stumbled over something. What followed was a sudden burst of anger, the actor stormed off, slamming the door behind him. In the chaos, an unsuspecting light man was accidentally hit by the door.
“He just stormed out of the set… slammed the door, and there was a poor old light man who got hit, I think,” Sheeba revealed. “I remember thinking, ‘Baap re! Is this how stars behave?’”
