She contined, “Now the next best option was going rafting which was through these very bumpy waters, now I knew if I said I wanted to go alone, I’m not gonna be allowed. So I conned Hrithik and I said, ‘Hrithik chal,’ and he was like, ‘No no Dad will scold us’. And Hrithik and I went into this short over jet and we were screaming and shouting and laughing and as you can see we were screaming and laughing with our vests on and it was a very dangerous experience we were going through these mountains with the water, this is our smiling picture but we were shitting bricks, we were smiling but humari faat rahi thi.”
