‘Emraan was not fully convinced...’

Sonal Chauhan reveals her Jannat co-star had issues with its iconic proposal scene 

The iconic proposal scene in Jannat (2008) set the bar for couples decades ago. More than a scene, Emraan Hashmi and Sonal Chauhan chemistry made it one of the classic Bollywood proposal scenes.  Recently, the actress took a trip down memory lane and made one of the biggest revelations - Emraan Hashmi was not fully convinced for the proposal scene!

 “Ye iss film ki jeet hain ki log usko itna personally le gaye ki aaj-tak mujhse ladke milte hain aur bolte hain ki aap ko Emraan ko marne nahin dena chahiye tha. Bahot saari cheez thi jaha mujhe script ke saath issues the - humara wo scene tha jahan mai bolti hu ki ‘jiske paas khud ka vehicle nahin hota unhe call center ki hi vehicle se jana padta hai’. Maine director se bola ki aap mujhe gold-digger bana rahe hain! Wo mujhe coffee pe le jaana chaahta hain aur aap mujhe keh rahe hain ki mai car ki baat karu! Par wo cult hua.”

She continues, “Emraan was not fully convinced for the iconic proposal scene. Unhone uss time par kaha thi ki ‘yeh thoda zyada ho raha hai!’ But, thank God we did it! It became a cult. KK sir ki awaaz in the backgroud is pure magic for the scene! And people talk about my smile in that scene, but jab trailer aaya tha and I saw that smile, I was cringing. I think jab kisi cheez ko work karna hota hain toh poori kaaynat uske liye kaam karti hai!”
