'Marilyn Monroe' moment behind the scenes

According to Miss Kyra, back in 2016, the cast of the movie came together at Gio MAMI Festival to celebrate 24 years of the movie, and the team could not help but talk about Pooja Bedi's iconic 'Marilyn Monroe' moment of the song. Talking about how difficult it was to shoot the scene, choreographer Farah Khan explained that the team worked hard to make the skirt fly. Pooja Bedi would not keep her hands to pull the skirt down and it went flying over her head, explained Farah Khan. 

Pooja Bedi laughed out loud in an attempt to defend herself while the assistant director of the movie Devan Bhojani recounted his experience. He stated that Farah Khan was shouting at him to place the fan underneath Pooja since the skirt was not flying. When the skirt went flying, Pooja Bedi was left exposed as she did not place her hands correctly, recounted Devan Bhojani. This earned a round of laughter from the team.
