Farah Khan recounts that Mithun Chakraborty’s arrival on the sets of Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om for the song “Deewangi Deewangi” caused a stampede. In her retelling, the sudden rush reflects Mithun’s popularity at the time and the commotion it created on set.
Farah also describes a separate, lighter moment during filming: Shah Rukh Khan and she were initially unsure what was happening amid the chaos. She adds that Shah Rukh had trouble keeping pace with Mithun during a dance sequence, leading to a humorous incident. Both accounts place the episode within the production of “Deewangi Deewangi,” a high-profile song featuring a large ensemble of stars.
The outlets agree on the core claim that the stampede occurred during the song’s shoot and was tied to Mithun’s presence. They differ mainly in the emphasis—some focus on the stampede and the confusion, while others highlight the dance challenge and scale of the star-studded sequence.
