Mumbai, April 10 – Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar reminisced about his struggling days with actor Parmeet Sethi, decades ago.
During a lighthearted interaction with Archana Puran Singh, who appeared as a guest on the show hosted by Akshay, Akshay recalled waiting outside the office of renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai as a struggling actor, where he would often meet Parmeet, who was also trying his luck.
Sharing the nostalgic memory with Archana's husband and actor Parmeet Sethi, Akshay said, "You know, my husband and I struggled together."
He revealed, "I still remember, we used to go to Subhash Ghai's office to struggle."
"We would talk about how we weren't getting any work, how we were struggling. It was such a tough yet good old time,"
Archana then added that they later worked together in the superhit film Dhadkan.
The episode featured Rajkummar Rao, Archana Puran Singh, and Sanya Malhotra.
During the show, Akshay Kumar made a humorous confession and admitted that during one of Archana Puran Singh's shows, he himself had heard that she had once stolen a bathrobe from a hotel.
Reacting to this, Archana Puran Singh challenged him and said, "Show me the footage, and I'll give you a bungalow on Madh Island."
Akshay then revealed how he had mischievously stolen things as a child from his own home.
Confessing this, he said, "I used to steal things when I was a child. My mother would give me money to buy a bulb, and I would put the money in my pocket. I still remember a hotel in Juhu, I can't remember the name. If you go to the lift, you'll see the bulbs are lit up, so I would sneak in and take two bulbs."
"I would take the clothes, get the bulbs, and go home, and I would be very happy with the money in my pocket. I have done this, and I am telling you honestly."
Talking about the movie Dhadkan, along with Akshay Kumar and Parmeet Sethi, it also features Shilpa Shetty, Sunil Shetty, and Mahima Chaudhary.
The movie, released in 1999, is still loved for its storyline and its songs.
