The sequence was such that he is sitting already and I have to sit in another chair but because I miss it, he makes me sit on his lap. That was very embarrassing for me, in real life also, and in the film also I am feeling very uncomfortable," she shared.
She then laughed as she said, "So the shot started and the rope chair was moving but right in the middle, it stopped. The electricity was gone. I said 'Dev saab, I can't sit like this'. I didn't want to put my whole weight on his lap. It was very very uncomfortable."
Journalist Bhawana Somaaya, who was interviewing Hema at the event, added that Anand comforted a scared Malini and told her to look into his eyes instead of looking down.
Johny Mera Naam is counted among Hema Malini's biggest hits, while Dev Aanand was an established superstar. On September 26, the late actor celebrated his 100th birth anniversary.
