Spilling the beans about the particular Main Hoon Na shot, Sushmita Sen revealed that the scene was unplanned. The candid gesture in that scene by Shah Rukh Khan was also impromptu. She said, "A lot of stuff that you see in the movie was not there. It just happened. Nanna Munna Rahi Hoon is there in the script. Then he (Shah Rukh Khan) sees this woman (Sushmita Sen), and he goes down on his knees and opens his arms. But it is not there. Shah Rukh just did that in the shot and was like, what are you looking like? And Farah was like perfect, cut. The sequence was not really choreographed by Farah. So it just happened at the moment."

Sushmita Sen added, "And as you know, Shah Rukh is Shah Rukh. He can do the same take 50 times and make it look like it is happening for the first time." Released in 2004, Main Hoon Na starred Zayed Khan, Amrita Rao, and Suniel Shetty in important roles. The film became a hit.
