Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan burst crackers outside Rakesh Roshan's room during Karan Arjun shoot, recalls Ashok Saraf: ‘Kisi ko sataana ho toh…'
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan delivered memorable performances in the iconic 1995 film Karan Arjun. In an earlier interview, director Rakesh Roshan had shared that the two actors often had a great time on set. Now, in a conversation with Radio Nasha Official, their co-star and veteran actor Ashok Saraf has confirmed this, adding that actor Johny Lever would occasionally join in on their pranks. When the host asked if it was true that Shah Rukh and Salman used to burst crackers outside Rakesh Roshan's room, and fire with fake guns to tease people, Saraf replied, 'Yes yes. I never used to go wherever this was happening. Kisi ko sataana ho toh main door hu. But yes, both of them used to have a lot of fun.' He added that his close friend and fellow actor Johny Lever was quick to join in, but he himself always kept a distance. 'Aur unke saath mein Johny Lever bhi mil jaata tha. Uske saath main bhi fir, masti nahi karta tha par hota tha.'

I would be sleeping at night and I would hear guns going off, bottles flying. I would ask them, 'What are you doing?'' In the docu-drama The Roshans, Shah Rukh Khan addressed the same and revealed, 'Pinkie ji scolded me a lot. 'You are troubling Guddu (Rakesh) a lot. I didn't expect it from you.' Because, between Salman and me, I was slightly better behaved; at least on the face of it. I was like, 'I didn't do anything. It's all his (Salman) doing.' We were two young kids, really troubling a father figure, to be honest.' Karan Arjun also features Kajol, Rakhee Gulzar, and Amrish Puri. The film recently completed 30 years since its release and, to mark the occasion, it was re-released in theatres.
