Priya Gill Recalls Slapping Shah Rukh On The Sets Of Josh: ‘There Was Complete Silence'
Last Updated:
Priya Gill recalls slapping Shah Rukh Khan in Josh, calling it the "most embarrassing" moment of her career.
Actress Priya Gill recently revisited her time working with Shah Rukh Khan in the film Josh, and she didn't hold back when talking about what she calls the most uncomfortable moment of her career. The scene in question? A slap she delivered to SRK during a song sequence in the movie.
In an old interview with Lehren that's gone viral again, Gill shared, 'I'll tell you, the most embarrassing thing I did in my entire film career was when I slapped Shah Rukh."
She recalled how the scene took several takes because the director wasn't convinced about the intensity of her emotions. 'I had to slap him, in the song, at the beginning of the song. We were doing this repeated, repeated thing in Goa. And Mansoor kept telling me, 'Priya, it's not coming with the kind of force that the girl is mad at him.' And I was like, 'Yeah, okay,' and I kept trying, you know. And Shah Rukh said, 'You hit me… hit me.' And Mansoor said, 'Hit him, hit him,' you know? I had to punch him. I couldn't help it. Oh my gosh, I'll never forget that."
The impact of that one slap caused a moment of stunned silence on the set. 'I think there was complete silence. Everybody just… the camera kept rolling. I think the director forgot to say cut because of the reaction. I remember KV the cameraman telling me, 'Girls are going to hate you because you hit Shah Rukh.' I think he was really sweet about it because after, he was explaining to me how it should be done right, and I didn't know what to say. After that, the song starts. So imagine how much tension I felt, and how cool he was about the whole thing."
Despite the nerves, Gill said working with Shah Rukh was like a dream come true. She's been a fan of his since his TV days. 'I don't know whether you know, but I'm like a… I won't just say I'm a die-hard fan, because fans are only related to the acting side. I've always liked Shah Rukh. When I was studying, I used to watch him on television. He used to come in the serials, and then he became a huge star. But you know, you never think that one day you're going to be with this guy. And I was totally in awe of him."
She added that she was nervous about how he'd react if anything went wrong. 'And I was like, suppose I do something wrong, and he's such a huge star, what's he going to do? What's he going to say? And you have all these doubts coming in. But he was so sweet to us."
Josh is a 2000 Bollywood film set in Goa, showing the story of two rival gangs. Shah Rukh Khan plays Max, a tough gang leader, while Aishwarya Rai plays his sister Shirley.
