Tulip Joshi was scared recently for a very unusual reason. While enacting a scene in Ashtavinayak's untitled production she got extremely apologetic and afraid to hurt her co-actor Kunal Khemu, so she rushed through her slapping scene.

Rohit Jugraj directs the film and Tulip plays an orphan Mausam who wants to be a journalist while Kunal plays her friend.

In the aforementioned scene, she is emotionally disturbed about something and that's when she slaps Kunal hard. She managed to get it done in one take."

Says Tulip, "I felt so bad that I hurt Kunal that I apologised to him again and again. Fortunately he wasn't hurt and took the slap peacefully. He's good co-star and makes things easier — is chilled out, energetic and calm."

Tulip says, "I think being physically abusive with someone is a sign of weakness."

Tulip was a tomboy when she was a kid and if anyone messed around with her she would slap him/her.
