Ayesha Jhulka recalls how Salman Khan saved her life during Kurbaan's shooting Watch

Ayesha Jhulka was recently evicted from the Celebrity Masterchef India. She had received an entry in the show as the wild card contestant but could not continue her stay for long. During one of her interactions with the show host- Farah Khan she revealed how Salman Khan saved her life during the shooting of her first movie Kurbaan.

Ayesha Jhulka was dancing on railway tracks when...

Kurbaan was the first Bollywood movie of Ayesha Jhulka as the lead actress. Before that, she had also worked as a child artist in Kaise Kaise Log released in 1983. During the shooting of Kurbaan, Ayesha and Salman Khan were practicing a few steps near the railway track. The crew was told that the train had been stopped and would only be allowed to run after the shooting was done.

So naturally, the entire team was very relaxed. That was also the reason why both Salman Khan and Ayesha Jhulka did not feel any need to be cautious about trains approaching them. Narrating the incident, the Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander actress said, “Hum log shoot kar rahe the. Wahan pe muzhe railway track ke andar dance karna tha or Salman bahar dance kar rahe the right side pe. Music chal raha hai, gana chal raha hai. Bola hai train ruki hui hai.”

“Jab hamara yeh pura sequence ho jayega toh hari zendi dikhayenge aur woh chal padegi. Suddenly Salman ne train ki awaz suni aur He just could not complete the train and he just pulled me like that (doing a pulling action) as if I thought I would fly off with pieces. And off within two minutes, the train came,” she added.

Ayesha Jhulka has been away from movies for many years now although she does make appearances at events or on certain digital platforms occasionally. During her heydays, she worked with many big stars including Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, and has worked in more than 70 movies.
