We were scrolling through Instagram today and came across this picture of Everest‘s Sahil Salathia and Shamata Anchan all decked up in wedding wear, with the caption, “We’re Married! happened too soon!! Need your blessings! Much Love! :)”
Of course we had to ask Sahil how that happened, but turns out it was just a joke! This is actually a scene from their Hollywood film Heartbeats (directed by Duane Adler) where they’re both doing an extended cameo.
Here’s what Sahil had to say about the prank:
We have a common fan following and Duane Adler genuinely wanted us to be an on-screen couple after being on Ashutosh Gowariker‘s Everest; he thinks we make a very good couple! We think we are great friends but wanted to surprise the bricks out of our fans by posting this! And we have already started getting congratulatory messages – and we can’t stop smiling, laughing and all of that!
Well played!
