While shooting for a train robbery sequence for the film in Rajasthan, Bunny and actor Vicky Mehra were riding their respective horses and Salman was supposed to balance himself keeping one leg each on the two horses. There were many other actors on their horses around Salman, Bunty and Vicky with a train fast approaching to their left. 

Director Anil Sharma called ‘action’ and everything was proceeding smoothly until Bunny accidentally lost his balance and was about to fall off the horse he was riding. A source said, “Salman immediately realised that Bunny would seriously hurt himself. He grabbed Bunny by his collar and pulled him up. If Salman had acted even a fraction of a second late, Bunny would have not only fallen off his horse but also would have been crushed to death by the horses that were running at breakneck speed behind them.” 

While shooting an action sequence for director Anil Sharma’s film Veer in Rajasthan, Salman Khan lived up to the name of his character in the film and saved the life of a junior actor. 

How? It was a train robbery sequence in which Salman and a bunch of men were supposed to ride horses at a very fast pace next to a speeding train. Salman was precariously balanced between two horses, with a leg each of the horses ridden by junior actors Bunny and Vicky. 

The shoot was in progress and the horses were loping at full pace when Bunny lost his balance on the horse he was riding and was about to fall to the ground, to be crushed under the hooves of the horses approaching from behind. But Salman Khan, showing an alertness of mind, immediately lunged forwards and grabbed Bunny by the collar. 

Had Salman hesitated even for a moment, the unthinkable would have happened. 

Today, Bunny is grateful to Salman for having saved his life. 

“I don’t know how to repay him (Salman),” Bunny is quoted as saying.
