/> On Sunday evening Anushkha had a hair's breadth escape from what could have been a catastrophic accident while shooting for a music video for Parmeet Sethi's Badmaash Company.

It happened at the M.T.Studio in Andheri (East) while Shahid and Anushka under the supervision of choreographer Ahmed Khan, were moving towards a pre-decided spot a little distance away from the place where a huge chandelier was hanging from the ceiling.

Before anyone knew what was happening, the chandelier suddenly came crashing down to the ground with a sound that pierced the entire studio compound.

The chandelier would have fallen straight on Anushka Sharma if it wasn't for Shahid's presence of mind. A split second before the chandelier hit the ground Shahid pushed the shaken and utterly petrified Anushka out of catastrophe's way.

"Sasha (Shahid) didn't push Anusha away. He pulled her towards himself. Just in time, Actually it was partly my fault. My instructions went a little awry and Shahid and Anushka along with Vir Das and Chang.

Anything could have happened, " shudders choreographer Ahmed Khan and adds, "I hope we finish the song without more mishaps.

This is the third electrical mishap that has occurred during the shooting. Fortunately nothing happened to Anushka. But what if Sasha had not pulled her out of danger's way just in time?"

Anushka confirms the incident, "Yes it did happen. Shahid was quick to act. Luckily no one got injured."

The real-life hero plays down the incident. "It was nothing major, " says Shahid.

Incidentally this is the second time within a year that Shahid has come to his leading lady's rescue.

During the shooting of Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey Priyanka Chopra was riding a scooter with Shahid on the pillion when she lost balanced and fell. Her face would have hit the ground if Shahid had not quickly buffered the imminent fall with his hand to protect her face.

"This is the sort of thing anyone would do, given the situation, " says Shahid.

Don't be too sure, Shahid. Decades ago when chivalry was far more active than now, Joy Mukherjee had to carry Asha Parekh. He couldn't take the weight and just dropped her.

Poor Asha was bed-ridden with an injured back for three months.
