Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan recently recounted a surprising behind-the-scenes story from the making of his 1981 film *Yaarana*, revealing that he endured actual electric shocks during the filming of the famous song “Sara Zamana Husn Ka Deewana.” While hosting his popular TV show *Kaun Banega Crorepati*, he shared this unusual experience from the shoot, which took place at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Stadium in Kolkata.
During the filming, Amitabh wore a special costume equipped with an “electric jacket,” which was powered by wires connected to a switchboard. Given the limited technology available at the time, the wiring was wrapped around his body, leading to some unintended consequences. He humorously explained that whenever the power surged, he would feel real electric shocks that, ironically, made him dance—not quite in line with the choreography, but rather in reaction to the jolts of electricity coursing through him.
