Actress Sonam Khan recently took a nostalgic journey back to the very beginning of her cinematic career, sharing a heartfelt memory about filming her first-ever bold sequence. The scene was shot for the 1988 film 'Vijay', directed by the legendary Yash Chopra and featured the late, great Rishi Kapoor as her co-star.
A Nervous Debut on Madh Island
In a candid revelation, Sonam Khan admitted to feeling extremely anxious on her first day facing the camera. The pressure was immense as her debut scene required her to wear a bikini, shot on the beaches of Madh Island. She credited the supportive environment created by director Yash Chopra and veteran actor Rishi Kapoor for helping her overcome her nerves. "Thankfully, everything went well, thanks to Yash ji and Rishi Kapoor Sir," she wrote, expressing her deep gratitude for their guidance during this vulnerable moment.
The Memorable Scene from 'Vijay'
Sharing a clip from the iconic shoot, Sonam gave fans a glimpse of the romantic beachside sequence. In the video, a young and radiant Sonam Khan lies beside Rishi Kapoor, with calm waves providing a serene backdrop. The scene features a charming exchange where Rishi Kapoor's character listens to her heartbeat, prompting Sonam to deliver the memorable line, "Dhadak nahi raha hai, kuch keh raha hai. Suno kya keh raha hai." This moment, a blend of innocence and glamour, became a standout for its beautiful on-screen chemistry and is still remembered fondly by fans.
Facing Judgment with Courage and Pride
Sonam Khan also addressed the potential for online trolling for sharing the vintage video, stating that it no longer bothers her. She revealed that her primary motivation at the time was to support her parents. "I was indeed a very brave girl to do my first shoot, especially in a bikini," she asserted. Looking back at the reel, she felt a sense of pride for the person she was and has become. She concluded that the opinions of online critics are irrelevant, as the approval of her parents and her faith are what truly matter to her.
The post was met with an outpouring of support from fans, who flooded the comments with admiration for her honesty and courage. Many users praised her bravery and expressed how much they miss seeing Rishi Kapoor on screen, turning the nostalgic moment into a celebration of a classic Bollywood era.
