Ajay Devgn's dad advised Paresh Rawal to ‘drink urine' to speed up recovery: ‘My x-ray shocked doctor after 15 days, he asked ye kaisa hu'
Actor Paresh Rawal has revealed that an unconventional advice of action choreographer Veeru Devgan, actor Ajay Devgn's father, helped him to recuperate faster after a knee injury that he suffered during the shooting of Rajkumar Santoshi's Ghatak. The actor was rushed to Nanvati hospital by Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa and doctors said it will take him about three months to get well.
That's when Veeru Devgan visited him while running another errand at the hospital. He found out that Paresh was also admitted there. Veeru suggested that the actor should consume the first urine of the day to aid recovery. 'Veeru Devgan had come to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital). When he got to know I was there, he came up to me and asked what happened to me? I told him about my leg injury…. He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning,' Paresh said.
He also recommended that the actor should avoid alcohol, red meat, and smoking during the healing process. Paresh Rawal shared about this incident during a conversation with Lallantop. 'He said all action people do that,' Paresh recalled.
Paresh opened up about how this unusual remedy helped him heal. 'I had decided if I had to drink my own urine, I'll not have it at one go; I'll sip it like beer. Because I want to do it properly,' shared the actor.
He added, 'I did this for 15 days. Fifteen days later, when the doctor took my x-ray, he was shocked. The doctor asked me, 'How did this cementing happen?' He could see a white line forming.' Paresh said, 'I was supposed to be discharged in 2-2.5 months, but I was discharged in 1.5 months. It was like magic.'
Paresh's claims left his fans shocked. 'Paresh Rawal just ruined beer for me,' wrote one. Another person said, 'How is this even possible?' One more person believed that it must have been a prank, 'This is information I really didn't need'.
On the work front, Paresh Rawal was last seen in the film The Storyteller where he played the role of Tarini Bandyopadhyay. The actor has multiple films including Bhoot Bangla with Akshay Kumar, Thama with Ayushmann Khurrana, and Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay and Suniel Shetty in his kitty.

Is Director Kussh Sinha Worried About Nikita Roy's Clash With Kajol's Maa?
Kussh Sinha discussed his aspirations and goals as a debutant director, vowing to bring something new and exciting to the table. After years of working behind the scenes as an assistant director, Kussh S Sinha will make his directorial debut with the movie Nikita Roy. Starring his sister Sonakshi Sinha alongside Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 27, clashing with Kajol's Maa. Recently, Kussh Sinha shared his excitement and insights as a debutant director in an interview with Hindustan Times, assuring viewers of a fresh and unique cinematic experience. The director also revealed that he is unfazed by the clash with Maa, saying, 'I am sure Maa is coming and that's also a big film backed by Ajay Sir and starring Kajol ma'am. It's got Vishal Furia, who is a great director in the horror genre." Kussh went on to reveal that he is confident about the film's success. 'But no, we are very clear that our film will work on its merit. We are not competing with Maa because that film is again in a different space. It shows a more horror aspect right from the start. Ours is a different genre. It's a supernatural mystery, but I wouldn't call it horror," he added. Furthermore, Kussh revealed how he wanted to serve the audience with something fresh from his film, Nikita Roy. 'When we enter any industry and want to make a name for ourselves, I believe that unless we do something new, how will people recognise us? There are two ways: either you make a great romantic film that surpasses others, or you need to offer something new to the audience so that they become aware of your work and feel it's worth their time." Adding about the film's character and storyline, he said, 'So we made a mixed-genre film. The other thing I liked about the script was that every character in the film is grounded and they have a reason to do what they do. It's not a mindless film. That's why I chose Nikita Roy as my first film, which has a female protagonist going against a larger-than-life grey character like Paresh Rawal's." Nikita Roy stars Sonakshi Sinha in the titular role alongside Paresh Rawal, Arjun Rampal and Suhail Nayyar. First Published:

23 years of Awara Paagal Deewana: 5 Bollywood comedies that bring the same madness
Awara Paagal Deewana gained a cult following upon its June 2002 release, thanks to its brand of frantic comedy, sleek action, and eccentric characters. Famous for its Hollywood-inspired stunts, over-the-top comedy, and a plot that wove between diamonds, dons, and double-crosses, the film was directed by Vikram Bhatt and featured a strong ensemble of Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Aftab Shivdasani, and Johnny Lever. On the film's 23rd anniversary, we take a look at other Bollywood films that manage to convey the same sense of comedic chaos by skilfully combining elements of slapstick, crime, and bewilderment. Awara Paagal Deewana poster Laugh out loud with Chal Mere Bhai, Anari No. 1, and Haseena Maan Jayegi—stream these classic Bollywood comedies now on OTTplay Premium. Another multi-hero ensemble film starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Suniel Shetty, Deewane Huye Paagal by Vikram Bhatt is an energy-filled spiritual sequel. Similar to Awara Paagal Deewana in many ways, this film is rife with ridiculous misunderstandings, cartoonish antagonists, and hilarious set pieces as its protagonists (Rimi Sen) pursue each other while pretending to be someone else. Apna Sapna Money Money The wild energy is still there, but the action is disguised humour in the Sangeeth Sivan film. Starring as a con artist who pulls off a heist while posing as a woman, Riteish Deshmukh leads the cast. The film recalls the carefree spirit of Awara Paagal Deewana with its protagonists' continual betrayal of one another and the mayhem that breaks out in every scene. Bhagam Bhag A murder mystery involving criminals and a missing woman is thrown into the mix in this Priyadarshan thriller set in London, which stars a theatrical ensemble. In this wild farce that combines humour and a whodunit, Akshay Kumar, Govinda, and Paresh Rawal get together. It takes a page out of Awara Paagal Deewana by thriving on ambiguity, unsteady corpses, and trouble-prone individuals. Khatta Meetha Although it's a little more serious, Priyadarshan's Khatta Meetha is nevertheless full of humour and social commentary. The film stars Akshay Kumar as a comically inept small-time contractor fighting entrenched corruption. The tone of the film dances precariously between satire and seriousness, similar to how Awara Paagal Deewana combined crime, comedy, and action. Kanjoos Makhichoos The more contemporary work in this kind, Kanjoos Makhichoos by Vipul Mehta, features Kunal Kemmu in the role of a miserly man who, following a family tragedy, must deal with bureaucratic red tape. Similar to Awara Paagal Deewana (but quieter and less action-packed), it features severe middle-class anarchy, situational comedy, and exaggerated characters. Even though the movie came out 23 years ago, Bollywood's fondness for ensemble storytelling, comedic setups, and chaotic plots is a clear reflection of the Awara Paagal Deewana impact on the comic-action genre. These films show that sometimes the wilder the journey, the more enjoyable it is.

'Paresh Rawal is such a talented actor, 99 percent of the industry would want to work with him,' says Kussh S Sinha about directing the actor in his first film
Kussh S Sinha is set to make his directorial debut with 'Nikita Roy' set to release on June 27. The film stars his sister Sonakshi Sinha in the titular role. It also stars Paresh Rawal and Arjun Rampal. In a recent chat with ETimes, when asked how it was for him to have such talented actors just on his first film, Kussh said, "A lot of it had to do with luck and strength of the story. With Sonakshi, there were multiple times when we wanted to collaborate, but it didn't work out. But with this story, she saw the value of this character Nikita Roy. It was a smart, strong, independent character." He also revealed why in his mind, there were very few actors who could play Nikita. Apart from Sonakshi being his sister, Kussh considers her as a great actor. "She has always been very good. 'Lootera' which was her 2nd or 3rd film but she was so good, of course, Vikramaditya Motwane had a lot to do with it. But she does have something special. Which is also why I wanted to work with her in Nikita Roy. An actor who is willing to put in those emotions, willing to look gritty. In my mind, there were very few actors who could do it." Talking about Paresh Rawal amidst all the buzz around the actor with regards to 'Hera Pheri 3', Kussh said, "With Paresh ji again, I feel extremely fortunate that we just had to have two meetings with him and he was on board. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Florida New Policy for Senior Drivers The Quote General Learn More Undo That gave me confidence when he came on board. He's spoilt for choice. Because Paresh ji is such a capable actor, any director would want to work with him. 99 percent of the industry would want to work with Paresh Rawal ji. " Ask him if it's easy for a director when there are such actors or is it more challenging, Kussh said, "With regards to getting the performance, it definitely makes it easier. It's challenging but it's a good challenge. You have to make sure you are communicating with them the way you need to. You have to evolve and up your game in order to communicate with actors of such caliber."
