Sonal Chauhan recalls Emraan Hashmi 'was not fully convinced' about the iconic proposal scene in 'Jannat'; reveals him saying, 'bit too much'

Sonal Chauhan has looked back on a memorable moment from the 2008 film 'Jannat'. She said that Emraan Hashmi had doubts about the film's well-known proposal scene while it was being shot. The film still has a loyal fan base, and the scene is among its most loved moments.

What Sonal Chauhan said about the proposal scene

In a chat with Shubhankar Mishra, Sonal Chauhan spoke about Emraan Hashmi's reaction. “Emraan was not fully convinced for the iconic proposal scene. At that time, he said, 'This is getting a bit too much!' But, thank God we did it! It became a cult,” she said.She also gave credit to the late singer KK, whose voice added to the impact of the scene. Fans often talk about her smile in the sequence, but Sonal Chauhan had a different view when she first saw it.

"People talk about my smile in that scene, but when the trailer came out, and I saw that smile, I was cringing," she recalled. She added that things sometimes fall into place when a film is meant to work.

Fans still react strongly to the film

Sonal Chauhan said viewers still connect deeply with the story, even after many years. “It is a victory for the film that people took it so personally; to this day, guys come up to me and say, 'You shouldn't have let Emraan die,'” she said.

Disagreement over a scene in the script

The actor also shared that she did not agree with a few parts of the script. One scene, which included a talk about transport and a coffee date, made her character look materialistic in her eyes. "I told the director that he was turning me into a gold digger!" she recalled. That scene, too, became a memorable part of the film.
