Actress Sadia Khateeb has created history by becoming the first Bollywood actress to shoot inside Vietnam’s Son Doong Cave, the largest cave in the world and widely considered one of the most dangerous natural environments on the planet.
Sadia and her crew spent four days inside the cave without network, electricity, or washroom facilities. They faced extreme humidity, complete darkness, and fearful silences throughout. Experts say that shooting in Son Doong isn’t just tough, it can be life-threatening. The cave is usually only explored by trained adventurers with special permissions, which makes this shoot all the more extraordinary and challenging.
She was honoured with a medal and certificate in recognition of this achievement, and shared photos from the experience on her Instagram to celebrate the moment with her fans.
Sharing her experience, Sadia said, “Grateful beyond words to Omung Sir for choosing me as Silaa and giving me the experience of a lifetime, being part of the first feature film ever shot inside Vietnam’s Son Doong Cave. We’re among the first 100 Indians to enter this natural wonder, and this makes me feel so proud and elated.”
The shoot was part of Sadia Khateeb’s upcoming action film Silaa, co-starring Harshvardhan Rane. In a bold new avatar, Silaa marks an exciting new chapter in Sadia’s journey as an actor.
