Kunal Khemu and Shreyas Talpade recently got stuck in the elevator at the Sitara Hotel, Ramoji Rao Studios in Hyderabad.

The actors who are in the city for the shooting of Golmaal 3 were returning to their room after working out in the gym in the basement.

Kunal laughs, '"It was literally a situation like the song Hum tum ek kamre mein bandh ho." First, the lift jerked to a halt then the lights went out.

We were terrified. We even talked about sure death if the lift crashed to the ground floor. Since it was an electronic lift, there was no light or air, making it even more claustrophobic."

The boys were stuck for over thirty minutes and they panicked as the emergency button wasn't working. They hadn't carried their cell phones to the gym, so they couldn't even call for help.

"It was like a nightmare. Finally the lights came on. And even though the lift started, we got out at the third floor and walked up a flight of stairs to our rooms.

Kunal even started discussing how we could save our lives if the lift crashed below, " says Shreyas.
