The film unit was trying to work around a strange situation: They wanted to make both Sushmita (175 cm tall) and Salman (174 cm) look as tall as each other. However, it was a non-issue for Salman. Unfazed by all the commotion around him, he walked up to Sushmita and said, “You carry your height and I will carry mine.”

Most of his heroines range in between 160-174 cm.
