starrer Jaagruti.
But what was meant to be just another scene turned into a terrifying real-life incident, one that Saraf says he will never forget. 'Jaagruti' starred Karisma Kapoor opposite Salman.
In a chat with Radio Nasha Official, Saraf opened up about a near-fatal moment while shooting a tense scene. The actor revealed that while filming, a real knife was used, and things went awry when Salman Khan gripped his throat a bit too hard.
'He was holding my throat with a knife and it was a real knife. Uski jo nok hoti hai vo kaat ke gayi aise… As soon as we started saying the dialogues, I tried to escape from his hands. Salman zor se daba rahe the and then I said, 'Dheere se dabaao, katt raha hai yahan par,'' Saraf recalled.
Despite the warning, the shoot continued. Saraf tried to suggest a safer way to hold the knife, but the camera angle didn't permit a change. 'He then asked me what he should do, maine bola ulta pakdo na.

He said that the camera is facing towards us, dikh jaayega usme, then maine socha chhorro.'
They completed the shot, but the damage had been done. 'We did the scene and when I saw later, there was a deep cut on my throat. Agar yahan ki nass katt jaati toh hum udhar hi…Main kabhi nahi bhoolunga.' Saraf added that he's unsure whether Salman even remembers the incident, quipping, 'Aise aadmi kisi ko yaad nahi rehte, bhool jaate hain.'
Jaagruti, also starred Shiva Rindani, Pankaj Dheer, and Prem Chopra apart from Salman and Karisma. Despite the scare, he continued working with Salman in several hits like 'Karan Arjun', 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya', and 'Bandhan.'
