Overview
- Ameesha Patel recounted the episode on India's Best Dancer Season 5 on Friday, saying she faced the reaction while filming the climax of Abbas-Mustan’s 2002 thriller at Jaipur Fort.
- She said a crowd watching the shoot shouted that she 'belonged' to Tara Singh, Sunny Deol’s character from Gadar, and told Bobby Deol not to touch her when a hug was called for in the scene.
- Crew members calmed and dispersed the spectators and the team completed the shot without reported injuries or lasting disruption, according to her account.
- Reporters note the episode is tied to the deep and lasting popularity of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and its lead character Sakeena, a connection reinforced by the later box-office success of Gadar 2.
- The anecdote illustrates how strong fan identification with on-screen roles can affect crowd control, on-set safety planning, and how filmmakers manage public location shoots.
