Hum Aapke Hai Koun
...!' has continued to remain quite iconic over the years. Infact, this film itself is a cult and a huge part of the Indian culture now. The songs from the film are played at several functions till date and every scene continues to be spoken about. The film also had some hilarious moments like Salman Khan wearing a nighty in the '
Didi Tera Dewar Deewana
' song.
Recently, Sooraj Barjatya had appeared on Indian Idol and while a contestant crooned this song, the director recalled fond memories and anecdotes from the shoot. He said, "This was a long and elaborate song that required 16 days of rehearsals and 9 days of filming. We wanted to end it on a high note, with a fun and victorious celebration. I suggested to my father that Salman should wear a nighty for the final scene. While Salman instantly agreed, my father rejected the idea, finding it inappropriate."
He further revealed how Madhuri Dixit and all the other members of the crew were damn excited for it. The actor said, "But the entire team was so enthusiastic about it that we decided to put it to a vote among the ladies on set. All the dancers, including Madhuri, found the idea hilarious and insisted we go ahead with it. In the end, Madhuri herself did Salman’s makeup for the scene. Thank you for bringing back these wonderful memories!"
