. But did you know that Neelam and shared screen space with Chunky when he had just started his career. And he left a scar on her, literally, which continues to remain till date.
Neelam spoke about how irritated she was with Chunky, in an interview recently. The actress said during a chat with Radio Nasha, "There was a scene in
Aag Hi Aag
where I was getting married to someone else, and Chunky was supposed to come on a bike, pick me up from the mandap, and ride 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.”
The actress further added she wanted to kill him on the set for this reason! "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 many times, and I just wanted to kill him," laughed Neelam.
