While it starred Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Mohnish Bahl, Renuka Shahane, every member of the cast is still remembered.

The actress said during a chat that Salman was quite spontaneous during a scene when he suddenly lifted her up and she wasn’t prepared for it. “The first time I met Salman, I remember Sooraj Barjatya explained the scene to us and he said okay. Suddenly, while filming the scene, Salman says, ‘Chachi jaan’ and he lifts me up. Since, I had a background in theatre, I reacted and I gave him a slap and all that and even Sooraj ji was surprised but he said, ‘It’s looking nice. We will keep it.’ So the next time Salman lifted me suddenly in another scene, I was prepared.”
She further said that once on Eid, Salman got Biryani from his own house for everyone as on the set only veg fod was served. “Salman was such a brat. It was wonderful working with him. He would also bring food from his home – biryani and all. On the sets of Hum Aapke Hai Koun, they only served vegetarian food. So, he would bring biryani on Eid and we all used to have it. He was also a big prankster.”
‘Hum Aapke Hai Koun..!’ directed by Sooraj Barjatya, also starred Anupam Kher, Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo, Satish Shah, Dilip Joshi among others.
