Anil Kapoor has said he felt insecure while shooting the song 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha' with Manisha Koirala because the camera crew was not filming him. Kapoor told a podcast that his character Narendra sings the song, but the director and cinematographer were not taking his shots during the initial days of filming. The actor said that after a while he 'obviously became insecure' about his role in the scene.

The song from the 1994 film '1942: A Love Story' was a major hit, featuring both Kapoor and Koirala. Kapoor did not disclose whether he later discussed the matter with the filmmakers or if additional shots were taken. The anecdote offers rare behind-the-scenes insight into the making of the iconic Vidhu Vinod Chopra-directed track.
Anil Kapoor's admission of insecurity over limited screen time is the entire substance of this two-source story. Both ndtv outlets report the same quote from the actor about the filming of 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha', where his character Narendra sings but was not being shot by the cameras. The coverage is nearly identical, the difference between the two roughly ten-word headlines is negligible. Neither source provides the film's title, a release date, or any wider industry context. As a result, there is no editorial divergence to parse. The flat, wire-style treatment suggests the item is treated as a light entertainment filler, not a news story with stakes. Watch for whether Kapoor or the film's director provides further detail on a subsequent promotional appearance.
