In an interview with Pinkvilla, responding to the question, he said he faced one such situation while shooting for his second movie ‘Saaya’, directed by Anurag Basu.
He said: “In the climax of the film, I had to jump into the water and I had to pretend to float because as per the script, I have fainted in the water. My co-star Mr. Raj Zutshi was supposed to pull me along. I was about 10 feet away from the waterfall which had a 100 feet drop. Little did I know, the stuntmen around me have tied our legs with wires and all, but none of the stuntmen knew how to swim!"
"When I was floating on the back, I suddenly heard Raj scream that 'I can't swim!' Next, I remember was, he pushed me! When I came back above, I couldn't move because I was pulled from all ends by the wires. It was when I came on the shore; I realized I got a second life,” he added to Pinkvilla.
