Haha! I can just picture that scene. Salman's spontaneous energy and Himani ji's perfect theatrical reaction. That's what made 90s cinema so magical. No over-planning, just pure moments. We need more of that today. #Nostalgia

Respect to Himani Shivpuri for her amazing career. She's one of those actors who can make any character memorable, from Chachi to the strict mom. Good to see her getting recognition. Her theatre background really shows in her flawless comic timing.

As someone who grew up watching these films abroad, this is so sweet. It shows the human side of these huge stars. The industry seems so intimidating, but stories like this make it feel relatable. Happy Birthday to Salman!

While the story is charming, we must also remember that such spontaneous physical actions on set might not always be welcome or professional. Context matters. Thankfully, here it worked out and created a fun memory. The film industry's culture has (hopefully) evolved since then.

"Boy with a golden heart" ❤️ That's so beautifully said. Whatever one's opinion of his movies now, you cannot deny the loyalty and love he shows to the people he works with. His Being Human foundation does good work too. Wishing him a great year ahead!
