Govinda Rescued Shilpa Shirodkar from Near-Drowning Incident While Filming “Hum”

Actress Shilpa Shirodkar recently reflected on a harrowing near-drowning experience she endured while filming the song “Sanam Mere Sanam” alongside actor Govinda in the early 1990s. During the shoot, Shirodkar found herself in a perilous situation when she nearly drowned. At that time, film sets often lacked the comprehensive safety protocols and rescue measures that are now standard in the industry.

Govinda, who was present during the incident, recounted how he managed to pull a panicking Shirodkar from the water, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. This incident serves as a reminder of the evolving standards in film production safety and the importance of implementing rigorous safety measures to protect the welfare of cast and crew members on set.

In recent years, the film industry has made significant strides in enhancing safety protocols, including training staff in emergency response and ensuring the presence of medical personnel during potentially hazardous shoots.
