An intimate scene can make even a professional film set feel awkward, especially when two actors are left alone immediately afterwards. Pooja Bedi has now recalled one such moment with Aamir Khan that ended in a surprisingly simple way.
The actress recently spoke about her equation with Aamir and also addressed old rumours surrounding their time together in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. While she dismissed any romantic angle between them, she remembered a very different incident from Aatank Hi Aatank.
Pooja Bedi And Aamir Khan Had A Very Different Equation
Pooja Bedi and Aamir Khan worked together in the 1992 film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Years later, the actress made it clear that there was no romantic relationship between the two and described their bond as one based on comfort, friendship and professional understanding.
That clarification comes as Pooja looks back at her early days in Bollywood, when rumours around actors could easily become part of the conversation surrounding a film.
The Intimate Scene That Made Pooja Bedi Uncomfortable
Pooja recalled shooting an intimate sequence with Aamir for Aatank Hi Aatank. The scene was filmed near Film City, but it was ultimately not included in the final movie.
What happened after the shoot, however, stayed with her. The two actors were asked to wait in a room, and with a bed also present there, Pooja admitted that she became nervous about the situation.
As a young actress at the time, the circumstances made her wonder what might happen next. But Aamir’s response completely changed the mood.
Aamir Khan’s Chess Question Changed The Entire Situation
Instead of making the moment more uncomfortable, Aamir casually asked Pooja if she wanted to play chess. The two already enjoyed the game, so the unexpected suggestion immediately helped her relax. Pooja then asked for a chessboard and the awkwardness disappeared.
Looking back, the actress said the incident reinforced her impression of Aamir as a decent and respectful person. Her recollection also gives a completely different perspective to the old rumours about their equation.
There is no confirmed romantic story behind the two actors’ friendship; instead, Pooja Bedi’s memory highlights an unexpectedly normal moment after a potentially awkward film shoot.
