Before making a mark in television, Joshi had gained recognition through his work in movies, including his appearances alongside Salman Khan in Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Maine Pyaar Kiya. In a recent interview with pinkvilla, Joshi revealed that during the shooting of Hum Aapke Hain Koun, he had the opportunity to share a room with Salman Khan. Despite being a big star, Khan was very cooperative and welcoming, never objecting to Joshi’s presence in the room. Joshi described it as a fun experience working with Khan.
Joshi also expressed his excitement about working with Madhuri Dixit, who was also part of Hum Aapke Hain Koun. He reminisced about staying in the same hotel as Dixit in Ooty during the film’s shoot. As a huge fan of Dixit, Joshi made sure to get ready before the call time to reach the sets earlier than her. He vividly recalled the moment when he saw Dixit in her cricket costume, walking down the stairs, which he described as a surreal experience.
The actor also praised the director, Sooraj Barjatya, for his accommodating nature towards the actors. Joshi was simultaneously shooting for a television show at the time and had to complete one episode per day. However, due to a delay in the shooting of Hum Aapke Hain Koun, he faced a scheduling conflict. Joshi approached Barjatya with his concern, and the director was kind enough to understand the situation. Barjatya carefully examined Joshi’s schedule and managed to adjust the shooting timings by rearranging scenes and accommodating close-up shots on a separate day, without causing any inconvenience.
These anecdotes from Dilip Joshi provide a glimpse into his memorable experiences while working with Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, and Sooraj Barjatya in the film Hum Aapke Hain Koun.
