Suraj Barjatya Reveals Inspiration Behind Iconic Scene from Hum Aapke Hain Koun

Mumbai, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : Renowned director Suraj Barjatya recently appeared on “The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5” alongside the team of his new family drama, “Prem Mol Liya.” During the episode, he discussed the iconic scene from his blockbuster film “Hum Aapke Hain Koun,” particularly the memorable moment involving the theft of a shoe.

Ayushmann Khurrana, a guest on the show, inquired about the scene featuring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit. Barjatya revealed that this moment was inspired by a childhood experience at a wedding. He recounted an incident from when he was just 13 years old and attended a wedding in Mumbai. During the celebration, a girl playfully hit his cousin, prompting a chase that culminated in both falling onto a bed.

This childhood memory became the basis for one of the most beloved scenes in “Hum Aapke Hain Koun.” In addition to discussing the scene, Barjatya also touched on his temperament and occasional anger. When asked by Archana Puran Singh about his anger, cast members noted that he rarely loses his cool. However, Barjatya humorously suggested that actors Abhishek and Kareena Kapoor might have a different perspective, hinting at their experiences with his temper. He further joked that Salman Khan could provide insight into how often he has scolded him.

“Hum Aapke Hain Koun,” released in 1994, is celebrated as one of Hindi cinema’s finest family entertainers. Starring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, the film is renowned for its music, family-centric storyline, and unforgettable wedding scenes.
