While shooting in Fiji for the movie 3G, Neil Nitin Mukesh and co-star-cum-girlfriend Sonal Chauhan got surrounded by water snakes in an underwater sequence.
The unit had assured the actors that the snakes weren’t poisonous. “We were okay with it because we were told that the snakes weren’t going to harm us,” says Neil.
With a relaxed mind, the actors went under water for the shot. The snakes coiled around their legs but that didn’t perturb them. It was only after the shot was okayed that Neil and Sonal came to know the truth. Apparently, the underwater snakes were very poisonous. “Thankfully we’re still alive,” says a petrified Neil.
But an adventure that sends chills up your spine is always an experience that one never forgets. For Sonal and Neil, this was just one of those experiences.
