This incident could be straight out of a Mills & Boon romance where Prince Charming comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress and carries her in his arms… only this time the ‘Prince Charming’ is Dulha Mil Gaya director Muddasar Aziz and the ‘damsel in distress’ is his love interest Sushmita Sen, as this photo clearly shows. Not known to do things halfway, Sushmita made clear that, like all women, she too is delighted when her man spoils her silly. Take for instance this incident, which happened on the sets of Dulha Mil Gaya.

A source said, “A sequence was being picturised on a beach in Trinidad, West Indies where a set was erected in the sea, just a few feet away from the shore. Sushmita was quite reluctant about wading in the seawater to reach the sets as she didn’t want her legs and costume to get wet. Immediately, her boyfriend Muddasar Aziz, who is the film’s director, lifted Sushmita on his shoulders to keep her warm and dry and took her safely to the sets ensuring that she did not get wet at all. Even though the scene was okayed after about 12 retakes, Muddasar would wade through the water every time to carry Sushmita on his shoulders to take her back to her vanity van during breaks. Sushmita was thrilled on being given this super special treatment and her delight was quite evident.”

While Muddasar Aziz remained unavailable for comment, producer Viveck Vaswani declined to comment. But, like it is said, a picture is worth a thousand words.
