    There has often been talk of this brutal massacre at home. When the scene of cutting me with a saw was being shot in the shooting, my health got very bad. I could not see the difference between reel and real life. My BP got low and I started having trouble breathing. After completing the scene, I  sat in a corner. At the same time, another scene was being filmed, where people were being shot by standing together. Vivek sir had cast Kashmiri Pandits there. When they were being shot with bullets, I started shouting there and started saying don’t kill my people. I  had forgotten that acting was happening. The production team came to me and consoled me. Even Vivek sir came. I was not breathing at that time, I had panic attack. I could not understand how my life would be saved. Then I was sent back to the hotel. I stayed in the hotel room for three days and did not talk to anyone. However, after that I felt very embarrassed that despite being an acting coach, how could I have such a breakdown. I could not even make eye contact with the crew members.”
