00:00If anyone moves an inch, I'll move an inch.
00:03And I started screaming, you know,
00:05stop the train, stop the train.
00:07And nobody could hear me.
00:13This is Aditya Devgn for Proof.
00:20What was I thinking?
00:21I was thinking that will I be able to manage it or no?
00:23And that time, there were no cables
00:25and no safety precautions and things like this.
00:29And I was just thinking, I hope both my drivers
00:31who are riding the bike are in their senses.
00:34Because if anyone moves an inch, I'll move an inch.
00:42Oh, this I had a very bad experience with.
00:45The shot where I'm under the train.
00:50They had also tied me up on that.
00:52And that had become loose.
00:54So I started hitting the ground very badly.
00:56I had a panic.
00:58And I started screaming, you know,
01:00stop the train, stop the train.
01:01And nobody could hear me.
01:03And eventually I started hitting my head also.
01:07So this was quite bad.
01:09By the time they stopped the train,
01:12they heard me, all my padding was gone
01:14and my back was completely torn.
01:17It was pretty close.
01:20This is Suhag, no?
01:22I think I was having fun here.
01:23I mean, action was cool.
01:31This was a difficult shot to do.
01:33I was only thinking, will I be able to manage it or no?
01:36Because the timing of everything was so precise
01:39that I think we had a couple of takes to do this.
01:42To just be able to manage it.
01:44And I think that's what we did.
01:46I think we had a couple of takes to do this.
01:49To just get it right.
01:51But did you do it by yourself?
01:52No, no, this is myself.
01:54Of course I did it myself.
01:59This is something, I only thought of this idea
02:02and I designed it.
02:03And then when I had to do it, I was thinking,
02:05why did I think of it and why did I do it?
02:07Why did I plan something like this?
02:11I was abusing myself.
02:13What is your message to the people
02:15who want to reenact these stunts at home?
02:18Never do it.
02:19Never even try it.
02:20You need a lot of training for it.
02:21You need a lot of safety precautions.
02:24You need people around you to guide you.
02:25You need professionals.
02:26So please do not try it.
02:28And I know that my first film stunt,
02:30a lot of people have tried it
02:31and have injured themselves.
02:33So forget me or anybody else's stunt.
02:35Please don't try it at home.
