Salman rushes to set
Although the film’s Chulbul Pandey aka Salman Khan was not present on the sets, he rushed there within five minutes and took it upon himself to ensure the injured got the best treatment possible. He took them to Lilavati Hospital in Bandra (w), but on reaching the hospital, he saw a large crowd gathered outside, as veteran actor Rajesh Khanna had been admitted there. He then took a detour to Holy Family Hospital, but had to bring them back to Lilavati Hospital.
