Los Angeles, Oct 2 (IANS) Actress Jessica Alba recalls a bizarre experience from the time she shot as a guest star on a popular American show.

During "Beverly Hills 90210", she was told not to make eye contact with the cast of popular teen drama!

"On the set of '90210', I couldn't even make eye contact with any of the cast members, which was really strange when you're, like, trying to do a scene with them," Alba said in an episode of "Hot Ones", reports etonline.com.

"It was like, you're not allowed to make eye contact with any one of the cast members or you'll be thrown off the set'," she added.
