When fire gutted the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘ Black ’, it was a major setback to the progress of the movie. But the director says he was able to get by with a little help from his friends.
Recalling his depression after the horrible accident, Bhansali recently said in an interview: “I feel I couldn't go through with the traumatic time if it wasn't for Salman Khan . He not only stood by me, but made sure that I resumed shooting within six days of the fire. He dropped in twice on the sets after I returned to shoot just to see if all was okay."
Bhansali also recalls that Aishwarya Rai , leading actress of his two previous films, was one of the first people to him call up after the accident.
“She (Ash) put aside our differences and connected with me when I was in distress, although she knows very well that Salman is and always will be my dearest friend and my brother,” said the director.
Besides Salman and Ash, Bhansali is also thankful to people like Yash Chopra, Rishi Kapoor, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Shah Rukh Khan , Jaya Bachchan , Kareena Kapoor , Vaibhavi Merchant, Ismail Durbar who stood by him to make the tragedy of the fire more bearable.
