Shekhar Suman reveals who fainted on Dekh Bhai Dekh sets:

While talking to the host, Shekhar Suman recalled how the cast and the crew used to work hard on the sets despite no fans or air-conditioners. The actor disclosed an incident when veteran actress Farida Jalal fainted while shooting for a scene in Dekh Bhai Dekh.

He said, "They used to take long shots of 10–20 minutes. The doors were closed from all four sides. It was the first time we were shooting with multi-cams, with many huge lights, and no fans or air conditioning. Aadmi bhun kar, tal kar, barbaad ho kar bahar nikalta tha (People would leave the room all roasted to the bone in heat and exhausted), but nobody complained.”
