When Abhishek Bachchan threw Archana Puran Singh in the water

Mumbai, July 03 (IANS) Did you know Abhishek Bachchan once threw Archana Puran Singh in the water?

Archana had shared screen space with Abhishek’s father and legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan in the iconic movie, ‘Agneepath’.

When Big B won the National Award for ‘Best Actor’ for the movie, the Bachchans had organized a massive get-together in a hotel to celebrate the win.

However, during the party, a young Abhishek, who had just returned from Switzerland, did something that left his parents extremely embarrassed and Archana highly upset.

The ‘Guru’ actor shared the hilarious incident during “The Kapil Sharma Show,” saying, “Everyone was singing karaoke and all that. There was a swimming pool there. I was a kid, and I was mischievous. I think I must have been 13-14 years old or something. So, I pushed her (Archana Puran Singh) inside the swimming pool.”

Recalling the incident, Archana added, “I was wearing a mini skirt. He pushed me from behind in the swimming pool.”

Feeling bad about what had happened with their guest, Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan offered Archana some dry clothes.

“We have kept my Kurta and pyjamas upstairs. So, if you want..,” Big B had offered.

However, Archana refused, “I will not attend the party wearing a kurta and pajama that too of Amit Ji’s size”, she had said.

Made under the direction of Mukul Anand, ‘Agneepath’ has been produced by Yash Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions.

The project shares the journey of Vijay Deenanath Chauhan (Played by Amitabh), a man on a mission to avenge the death of his father and injustices done to his family by becoming a part of the Mumbai underworld.

It might be interesting to know that the title of the movie was derived from a poem of the same name called ‘Agneepath’ penned by the famous poet and Big B’s father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
