Himani Shivpuri reveals her playful slap to Salman Khan during Hum Aapke Hain Koun shocked Sooraj Barjatya | Hindi Movie News

Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994) remains one of the most iconic films in Bollywood history. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, the film remains etched in our hearts for its timeless romance and family drama. Recently, veteran actress Himani Shivpuri recalled a funny anecdote from the film, where she starred opposite Bollywood’s beloved superstar Salman Khan.

Himani Shivpuri, who played the endearing Dr Razia in the film, recalled her first meeting with Salman Khan on the sets. As the cameras rolled, Salman lifted her off the ground, leaving her momentarily stunned. “Since I had a background in theatre, I reacted instinctively and slapped him playfully. Even Sooraj ji was surprised, but he decided to keep that impromptu moment in the film. Little did I know Salman would surprise me again!” Himani Shivpuri told Bollywood Hungama.

Rajshri Productions, the film’s production house, strictly adhered to vegetarian meals during the shoot. However, Salman ensured that the cast and crew were given a tasty exception. The veteran actress revealed, “Salman was such a kid! He would bring home-cooked biryani for Eid, and we all relished it. His warmth and pranks made the set a lively place.” Beyond his on-screen charisma, Salman’s mischievous side endeared him to all. Himani fondly described him as a “great prankster”. His antics, coupled with his thoughtful gestures, created an unforgettable camaraderie on the set.

On the work front, Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film Sikandar. Directed by AR Murugadoss, this Eid 2025 release promises Salman’s signature entertainment. Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar will also be seen in key roles in Sikandar. Apart from this, Salman will also be seen in Tiger vs Pathaan, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan.
