Farah Khan “Apologised,” According to Sushmita Sen, for chopping her scenes in Main Hoon Na
Farah Khan, a choreographer, became a popular director with Main Hoon Na. Shah Rukh Khan, the film’s principal actor, attracted notice, but so did its talented supporting ensemble. Sushmita Sen, who played Chandani Chopra (Miss Chandani), SRK’s on-screen chemistry instructor and love interest, had one such outstanding performance. The depiction of Sushmita Sen was well received by viewers. What some people may find surprising is that despite the fact that Sushmita Sen’s sequences were cut from the final version, the actress still views it as a pivotal moment in her career.
Sushmita Sen said that Farah Khan had apologized to her over the phone for cutting her parts in the final edit, according to an interview with Humans Of Bombay. “Farah called me and apologized to me, saying, “Sush, I have seen the final cut and Shah Rukh of course has the part, Zayad, Amrita, everyone has a role, you are hardly there. I simply say, “That’s ok Farah, you saw the deal through, and I saw the deal through.” Don’t stress about it. But I was thinking, “Oh oh, I am barely there in the film,” on the inside.
“The screening takes place at Film City, and my phone starts ringing,” she concluded. The whole sector is beckoning. Yash ji said, “Kya kaam kiya hai bachche, I couldn’t take my eyes off of you,” as I nervously picked up the phone. It’s just the halftime break, and I hope you watch every second of the second half. I didn’t get to see that. I could tell something had changed from that reaction. I felt horrible about barely being there, so I decided not to attend the screening. The audience’s response was really passionate despite the part still being very modest yet strong.
The early posters of Main Hoon Na either had Shah Rukh, Zayed, and Amrita or Shah Rukh alone. However, it turned out that the public at the time liked this new Jodi and the previous posters that didn’t show Sushmita Sen were ripped down and replaced with her face on them. By Saturday, after the movie’s release, Shah Rukh and I could be seen on every billboard. We have taken down all the previous posters and replaced them, Farah told me over the phone. You ought to take a drive today. That is the audience’s and people’s power, the actress said.
Main Hoon Na has an excellent cast of brilliant performers, including Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed Khan, Sushmita Sen, Amrita Rao, Naseeruddin Shah, Kirron Kher, and Suniel Shetty, among others.
