While shooting for Bajirao Mastani alongside Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, this is what the actor claimed to see and shared about it in an interview with Deccan Chronicle, “I had a tough task ahead of me on that day of the shoot and I was praying hard to get it right. There was a black wall on the sets on which some white dust had settled and formed the pattern in the shape of Bajirao’s figure. It had the turban, the eyes, nose, the mooch and the arms. The resemblance was for all to see.”

During the release of Ghost Stories, Janhvi shared with the official Instagram handle of Netflix, “Apart from being a classic ghost story, the script resonated with me on a very deep level. The horror is more emotional and human than anything external. Something that spooked me out was that after we wrapped the shoot, about 10 of us fell really, really sick.”

Kriti Sanon was left shaken on the sets of ‘Dilwale’ when her make-up artist felt an unearthly presence in her hotel room. She recalled that her makeup artist felt someone or something pushing her. Around the same time, a bottle of lotion fell off the table without anyone touching it. On picking it up and keeping it in its place, the bottle fell again and this time they swore that it wasn’t a shaky table or the wind. She was surprised as the table wasn’t moving, nor was there any wind. Later in the night, she felt that someone was pushing her and that’s when we all were spooked out!”

Sunny Leone also recalled an instance when she felt a presence. In an interview with ETimes, Sunny said, “I was shooting for one of the seasons of Splitsvilla at a palace in Rajasthan. When we retired to our rooms for the night, I had sleep paralysis. I literally had to push myself to wake up, but I felt some presence holding me down. When it repeated for the third time, I just got up and yelled, ‘Leave me alone!’ It seems this one was a kind ghost as it did leave me alone and things were back to normal.”

Bipasha has been a part of many horror films but a spooky encounter left her shocked. The actress was shooting at Mukesh Mills and was practising her lines alone in a room but kept on forgetting it and felt someone was stopping her. Speaking to ETimes, she shared, “They got me out of the set, and they gave me some holy water and stuff like that. I slept in the vanity van for a while and then they called for pack-up. The next day, the crew did a pooja there, basically so that we could continue shooting, but even the pandit who did the pooja had an accident. So, after that, we didn’t complete the scene there; we shot it at a different location.”

While shooting for the film 3G, one crew member from his team said that he saw someone standing beside him who later passed through him. Sharing his experience, Neil said, “So we were shooting at this one location which apparently is supposed to be haunted! And the unit boys did experience a presence. One of our light boys came running complaining that someone was standing by his side. And passed right through him. At first, we thought he was joking trying to create sensation but then when he sat trembling like a leaf is when we sat and heard him out.”
