The veteran actor said on his show Kaun Banega Crorepati 14, "In one of my scenes I had a snake on my chest. I can’t tell you I was almost dead and told them I can't do it, I may leave the film. I told my director I won’t be able to do this scene."
He stated how he was made to shoot with a real snake by making him believe it was a rubber one, "After a lot of difficulty they told me that we will keep a fake rubber snake in front of you and you can say your dialogues to him and I was like yes that could be done. Afterwards, one of my assistants told me that the snake was not made of rubber, it was a real snake with whom I did the scene."
