Director Harry Baweja needed a strong woman for Karz - The Burden. He found Kiron Kher. But when she reported for work, co-actors Sunil Shetty and Sunny Deol couldn`t stop laughing. They simply could not imagine the big-built Kiron as a rape victim, which is what her character in Karz is.

So, Baweja had to contend with two macho men trying to enact some of the most difficult scenes of their careers -- they help a rape victim -- even as struggled to keep as straight face.Now, whoever told Sunil and Sunny that a rape victim has to be of the petite kind to look vulnerable enough must have cracked a rude joke on them. For, wouldn`t any actress worth her salt, barring Ms. Kher of course, look small and diminutive in front of the two hunky actors?
