While shooting on the outskirts of Goa, in a fit of rage, Bhansali threw the continuity sheets in a river when one of his assistant directors repeated a same mistake twice.
It is believed that Bhansali had already warned the assistant director not to repeat the mistake. Unluckily, the assistant director's gaffe with the continuity sheets was enough to raise the ire of the director and as a result, an angry Bhansali screamed at his assistant director and threw the sheets into the river.
On seeing Bhansali's fury, the entire unit of ‘Guzaarish' shuddered with fear. Failing to understand what to do next, one of the unit members immediately jumped into the river to recover the continuity sheets, which were, of course, fully soaked.
The shoot resumed after some time but everybody behaved cautiously on the sets all day.
