The moment involved Shilpa Shetty’s character lying dead, but Kajol couldn’t hold back her laughter after noticing Shilpa’s feet. She found it hilarious that someone could have such perfectly polished nails in a death scene, which led to her laughing uncontrollably—much to the director’s frustration.The actress further recalled that she couldn't stop giggling, saying she kept laughing over how funny it was to see Shilpa Shetty's perfectly polished feet in a death scene.

That one line, Kajol said, instantly changed her mood and brought the required emotion to the scene.
