Actors Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan nearly got electrocuted to death while shooting in neck deep water on the sets of Tum Mile. The film is physically demanding and required the cast and crew to shoot for 45 days in water as the film has been made in the backdrop of Mumbai floods.

Emraan, soha and Kunal Deshmukh, the director, used to spend almost all their time on the sets even when not shooting because they discussed the next day’s scenes and it was on one such day that luck was not on their side and they stepped inside the water. A mess of live wires lay unattended there about which no one had a clue as to where its mains were. Sooner a light boy came running and screamed loudly that the cables were plugged. But just as Emraan, Soha and Kunal stood in the water someone managed to locate and switch off the mains immediately!

Says the director: “I have never experienced fear of such great extent in my entire life! When I realized that we could have all been dead the next moment had the connections not been put off on time, sends shivers down my spine. Thank God! We are all safe!”

Soha Ali Khan was shivering too and barely uttered: “After one incident in Cape Town where I nearly drove the car off the cliff, I had a narrow escape from death on the sets of Tum Mile again. I can only thank God for actually giving me a second lease of life!”

Emraan too said - “It is my worst nightmare and had the electric current been on a high voltage or had the connections not been taken off at the right time, we would have been no more for sure!”
