Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal recalled how he shot for the iconic scene in the film Masaan. If you have watched the film, you would agree that there are several remarkable scenes and among them is the scene where the actor says, ‘Yaar saala, ye dukh kaahe nahi khatam hota be?’
During a conversation with Nikhil Taneja, the actor revealed how he delivered the scene. Vicky said, “I spent an hour sitting by the banks of the Ganges, imagining that I had lost my mother. In my mind, when I returned from shooting Masaan, my mother wouldn’t be there anymore, and people would tell me, ‘Your first film was being shot, and we didn’t want to tell you because we didn’t want to disrupt your work.’ I crafted an entire story in which it had been 20 days since my mother’s passing, and no one had informed me, and everything had already been done, leaving me with nothing.”
Further, he said that the part where the train comes from behind and he starts crying wasn’t supposed to happen.
“The scene as a talkie only ends with the line, ‘yaar saale, ye dukh kaahe nahi khatam hota be?’ There was no crying, nothing. Because I was pent up with that emotion, what happened was that the train that went from behind was actual and not planned. I was drunk and I reacted to that train and started reciting what Shalu’s character had said in the film, ‘Tu kisi rail si guzar ti hai… aur mein kisi phulla sa thar-tharata hoon’ and then I started saying everything Shalu had said in the film.”
Vicky also revealed, “I don’t know, everything that I had bottled up came out and I started crying and that’s why when you see the film, you see me going out of the frame, I fall, friends come in, them picking me up, nothing was planned. Neeraj didn’t say cut and we kept shooting. That’s how we got that scene.”
