Main jaake Shilpa ko baahar nikala. Ab baahar aate heen Shilpa boli, ‘Tujhya ayela… arey isse kaha tha ki mujhe abhi swimming nahi aati hain, kaaye ko isme daal diya hain?’ (He didn’t know how to swim. To be honest, I wasn’t a good swimmer either. Shilpa suddenly drowned in the water while I was left walking alone in the boat. I kept shouting, ‘Where is Shilpa?’ He disappeared under the water. I jumped and pulled him out. As soon as he came out, he scolded all the Marathi people, saying that he had already told them that he did not know how to swim and they were asking why they made him shoot).Govinda’s video retelling left Shilpa laughing as she recreated the frenzy of the moment.

Main leather pant mein thi aur wahan pe WB Rao sir dusre boat mein aise bol rahe the pose karne, and I was scared because we were in the middle of the water. There were only four people. No life jacket, kuch nahi. And that’s how we worked at that time. (The shooting conditions were very different. There were very few people on the set. I wore leather pants, while WB Rao sir was in another boat asking me to take a picture. I was scared because we were in the middle of the water with only four people. There were no life jackets or any protective equipment. This is how we worked back then).For those who don’t know, ‘Hum’ had a mixed team Amitabh BachchanRajinikanth, Govinda, Shilpa Shirodkar and Kimi Katkar.
