Overview

  • Shilpa Shetty marked the anniversary by posting a nostalgic video montage from the film with the caption, “#32YearsofBaazigar & what a ride it’s been!”.
  • Recalling her building fall sequence, Shetty said the scene was shot nearly five times using a harness that left a years-long scar, highlighting early‑’90s practical stunt work.
  • She credited action director Akbar Bhai while noting that limited VFX at the time required more physically demanding performances.
  • Coverage revisits how the film cemented Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as a beloved screen pair and introduced Shetty in her debut role.
  • Reports note the movie’s loose inspiration from A Kiss Before Dying and cite its strong box‑office showing and award recognition for Shetty.
