After
returning
to
Mumbai
from
Nainital,
Subhash
Ghai
shared
a
near
death
experience
faced
by
Kartik
Tiwari
while
shooting
for
Kaanchi.
Subhash
Ghai
said,
"My
heart
beat
almost
stopped
while
shooting
for
a
song.
Seated
on
the
mountain's
edge,
Kartik
would
have
slipped
into
the
deep
ravine.
It
was
a
rain
song
sequence
that
we
were
shooting.
He
and
Mishti,
the
new
heroine,
had
to
sit
on
different
stones
at
the
peaks
of
two
mountains,
facing
each
other.
This
was
an
edge
of
a
mountain.
Since
this
was
a
long
shot
cranes
were
being
used
and
there
was
nobody
near
him.
What
nobody
realised
was
that
the
mud
stone
on
which
Kartik
was
sitting
on
was
gradually
melting
because
of
the
torrential
rain.
The
music
was
loud
and
all
of
us
were
concentrating
on
getting
the
perfect
shot."
Subhash
Ghai
further
added,
"Kartik
realised
what
was
happening,
but
being
a
dedicated
actor,
he
continued
with
the
scene.
After
I
shouted
'Cut'
as
the
scene
was
perfect,
we
saw
the
stone
give
away,
and
Kartik
nearly
slipped
down.
But
he
held
on
a
stone
nearby.
When
I
asked
Kartik
why
did
he
not
called
for
a
'Cut',
he
said,
he
wanted
to
complete
the
shot.
Has
he
fallen
down
it
was
a
good
2000
feet
into
the
valley.
All
of
us
were
petrified.
I
must
say,
God
was
kind
and
saved
us
from
a
tragedy."

Subhash

newcomer
Mishti,
Kartik
Tiwari,

Kapoor
