As the hilarious video begins, Shakira is seen laying on a pile of mud and trash when a huge rat comes out of the blue and starts jiggling near her head.
Seeing the uninvited creature getting eerily close to her, Shikra lets out a loud scream and quickly gets up. As she sits down, we see her hair extensions lay down there only to get walked over by the rat.
Fish Tank Broke
Previously, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ singer also spoke about another incident that occurred during the music video shoot in which her fish tank gave away and the actress failed to climb out of it thanks to the mermaid outfit.
Recalling the incident, Shakira spoke to a Spanish American news outlet and said, “The fish tank broke, the set began to flood, and they had to take me out of there. I couldn’t go out because I had a mermaid tail, and I couldn’t climb out.
She further told that eventually, the production staff had to bring in a crane in order to rescue her and continue with the shoot. saying.”Every man for himself. Good thing it was just an anecdote, and I’m here to tell it,” Shakira added.
Manuel’s prophetic words
Shakira also revealed told that prior to the fish tank incident, her Co-star Manuel tried to caution her and warned her saying that the tank might break.
However, the singer didn’t pay any heed to him at that time as she trusted the safety measures of her production staff and believed that the likelihood of the tank’s breaking is next to impossible.
