Shilpa Shetty gave a special mention to Kajol, her co-star, for befriending her and unknowingly teaching her the art of fearlessness.
Reflecting on her journey, Shilpa Shetty humorously mentioned, “If I knew that getting thrown off a building would give me 30 years of longevity, I would happily get pushed again. After all, ‘Haar ke jeetne wale ko BAAZIGAR kehte hain.'”
About ‘Baazigar’: Directed by Abbas-Mustan, ‘Baazigar’ emerged as one of the major hits of the 90s.
