Speaking to Radio Nasha, Shahid Kapoor said that he was on his way to shoot for the song Taal when he met with an accident. He fell off his motorcycle, and was very nervous when he arrived on set. “Nobody knows this, but I had an accident that day. I used to ride my bike and I fell off. So, I remember being very nervous on the sets because I had fallen and I was thinking, what just happened to me? And this happened to me that day. I will always remember this as the worst and best day of my life.

Before Taal, Shahid Kapoor was seen as a background dancer in Dil To Pagal Hai. He was a member of the Shiamak Davar dance troupe at that time. He recalled that he had just joined the troupe, and was a novice, which was why he was nervous all the time. “I was a nervous wreck, just hoping I didn’t mess things up,” he said.
