In a recent appearance on the singing reality show Indian Idol 15, filmmaker Sooraj R. Barjatya shared an intriguing behind-the-scenes anecdote from his 1994 blockbuster Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!. He recounted how actress Madhuri Dixit played a pivotal role in convincing the team to have Salman Khan do a nightie in the iconic song “Didi Tera Devar Deewana.”

Barjatya revealed that the elaborate song required 16 days of rehearsals and nine days of filming. Timing to conclude the sequence on a high note with a fun and victorious celebration, he proposed the idea of Salman wearing a nightie for the final scene. While Salman instantly agreed, Barjatya’s father, Raj Kumar Barjatya, found the idea inappropriate and rejected it.

However, the enthusiastic cast and crew, including Madhuri Dixit, found the suggestion hilarious and insisted on proceeding with it. Madhuri herself took charge of Salman’s makeup for the scene, ensuring the comedic moment was executed flawlessly.

This light-hearted anecdote offers fans a delightful glimpse into the camaraderie and collaborative spirit on the set of Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, highlighting the collective efforts that contributed to the film’s enduring charm.

Let’s take a look into the video song to recall the iconic Salman Khan Nightie- look from the movie:
