Neelam Kothari recently mentioned about an accident that happened on the set of the film due to Chunky Panday. Here we will check out what she said about him.

Neelam is basking in the release of Season 3 of Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives. The actor has done several films in the course of her three decade long career. In an interview with Radio Nasha, Neelam spoke up about the experience of shooting the 1987 film Aag Hi Aag, and shared that co-star Chunky Panday used to irritate her so much that at times she wanted to kill him.

In the interview, Neelam said, “Chunky is a very good friend today. And he was a good friend back then too, but there were days when I just wanted to kill him. He used to irritate me on set because he was a newcomer. He took his own sweet time. ‘The shot is ready, cameras are set, but where’s Chunky Panday?’ Chunky Panday’s in the bathroom. This didn’t happen just once, but several times, and I just wanted to kill him.”

She added, “There was a scene in Aag Hi Aag where I was tying nuptial knot with someone else, and Chunky was supposed to come on a bike, pick me up from the mandap, and ran away. I must have asked him 10 times if he knew how to ride a bike, and he kept saying, ‘Of course.’ He didn’t know — he was joking. So he picked me up on the bike and pushed the accelerator so hard that it did a wheelie, and I was in bridal attire. I fell off, and the bike landed on top of me. I burned my leg and everything. I wanted to kill him. I still have that scar on my leg, and I still remind Chunky that I have it for life because of him.”
