When Saif Couldn’t Grab Deepika In His Arms

While shooting a romantic scene in Love Aaj Kal , Saif Ali Khan was supposed to grab a falling Deepika Padukone in his arms. But he misjudged.

One of the subplots in the film by Imtiaz Ali has Saif playing a Sikh man named Veer who falls in love with a Punjabi beauty Harleen Kaur. There is a sequence in which Deepika (playing Harleen) gets drunk at a Punjabi dhaba and dances atop a table.

While dancing she loses her balance and falls towards the ground. Saif was supposed to grab her mid-way in his arms. But perhaps the actor was nervous or he mistimed, he failed to grab the falling Deepika while shooting the scene. Consequently, the actress almost fell on the ground. Saif, however, managed to grab Deepika’s dress and save her from hitting the ground.


“Fortunately, Saif managed to grab the end of my kurta and I didn't hurt myself badly,” Deepika tells a tabloid.
The actress is planning to hold a special screening of the film for her family and close friends. She even plans to invite Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan (who introduced her in Om Shanti Om ) to the screening. Ranbir Kapoor , of course, will be invited too
