Actor Navneet Nishan played Maya in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and the character was head over heels for Rahul, played by actor Aamir Khan. “I was so nervous being on a set with Aamir, Juhi Chawla and Mahesh Bhatt (director). I was a nobody and they were such massive stars,” says Nishan.

She adds, “There was a scene that got edited. After our engagement, I go to Rahul’s home and give him a peck on the cheek. There was a lipstick mark on his cheek when I kissed. So later, Aamir being Aamir, said, ‘This has to be done in continuity’. So, all through the day, I kissed him at least eight times. I came home and told my friends that I kissed Aamir Khan all day long (laughs).”

Nishan recalls a funny scene when she was pelted with eggs. “We realised ande zor se lagte hain, so Aamir made sure they were cracked enough before they were thrown at me. I’m a vegetarian and I couldn’t bear the smell of eggs. Thank God, I wore a wig that I could throw away, else my hair would have smelled for days,” she ends.
