Actor Mohsin Khan, just back from a hectic yet memorable outdoor shoot in Switzerland for Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlaata Hai shares his experiences...

 

Well, it was my first trip there. It's funny, because just few months back, I had thought it would be quite cool to have a shoot abroad, and it came true! See, I've always been out of country as a tourist. This is the first time, I went as an actor. It's a beautiful place with beautiful people. When we went there, it was drizzling and the place looked like heaven. Shooting in the mountains was by itself breathtaking. I had always seen Zurich in Yashraj movies while growing up. So, to experience a full fledged shoot  there was a dream come true.

 

In between shots, I would cycle around Switzerland. Have a lot of Swiss chocolates. We clicked a lot of selfies. We rode the trams and had a lot of fun on the open cable cars. Then we danced on the snow at 10,000 feet, where I was wearing a transparent shirt while Naira wore a chiffon saree. Seeing the fields and the snow, I just couldn't resist posing like SRK. Also, the DDLJ moment that Shivangi and I recreated as Naira and Kartik at Edinburghstation is something I am very excited to watch on TV. We shot the songs Khuda Jaane, Yaha Waha, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, with each song having its own set of stories. But overall, the best thing about Switzerland shoot was that it never felt like a TV show shoot. I felt like a Bollywood hero dancing with my two heroines, Naira and Gayu in the beautiful fields and snow of Switzerland
