Bollywood’s dancing queen Sonam Khan treated fans to a raw anecdote from the ‘Dushman Devta’ sets, exposing the blisters she suffered while filming ‘Uri Uri Baba’ barefoot amid scorching conditions. This revelation, shared after decades, underscores the physical demands of 90s filmmaking.
The Instagram clip captures her lively duet with Suraj Pancholi, paired with a honest note: ‘Me in Uri Uri Baba. Brutal heat, dancing without shoes – blisters galore!’ The post has gone viral, drawing heartfelt responses from a grateful audience.
Bappi Lahiri’s composition, Usha Uthup’s vocals, and Anjaan’s lyrics infused the track with festive energy. In Anil Ganguly’s film, Dharmendra embodies a reformed bandit revered as divine after a village teacher’s murder, alongside Dimple Kapadia, Aditya Pancholi, and Sonam.
The plot weaves suspense around the protagonist’s concealed intentions in a community ravaged by outlaws and wildlife. Despite high expectations, the movie underperformed financially.
Sonam’s journey from Telugu screens in 1987 to Hindi hits like ‘Vishwatma’ and ‘Tridev’ peaked with ‘Tirchi Topi’. Her industry exit remains a mystery, but posts like this revive her vibrant legacy, proving pain often paved the path to memorable cinema.
