Recently, movie producer Pahlaj Nihalani disclosed that the late actress Divya Bharti had a major meltdown when she found out she was coupled with Chunky Pandey.
Pahlaj Nihalani, the former head of the CBFC, recently gave an interview in which he discussed his films, his relationship with Govinda, and other topics. We already shared with you what he had to say about his current connection with Chi Chi after the two had “created a misunderstanding” as a result of David Dhawan. The movie producer has now spoken out about the late Bollywood actress Divya Bharti, who once had a major tantrum and refused to work with Chunky Pandey.
A few days ago, Nihalani was heard defending Vishal against accusations of corruption against the film certification board. As the chairman of The Central Board Of Film Certification, he frequently made news for various reasons.
Pahlaj Nihalani related a story about the time he was planning to cast Divya Bharti, Pooja Bhatt, and Juhi Chawla in the Govinda-starring movie “Aankhen” in his most recent interview with Bollywood Thikana. However, when the late actress discovered she would be paired with Chunky Pandey, things took a turn for the worse, which led to her departure.
Pahlaj Nihalani told the YouTube channel, “Divya (Bharti), Pooja Bhatt and Juhi Chawla were supposed to do the film originally. I decided that Divya should be paired with Chunky and Ritu Shivpuri should be opposite Govinda. When David told her this, she was hassled. She called me up, and began threatening to do things. She threw a big tantrum, and summoned me. I went to meet her, and she said, ‘I’ve heard that I’m opposite Chunky?’ I said yes. She refused to do the film.”
He said that he asked the late actress to lose weight during their first encounter. He said, “She approached me through a secretary and we hadn’t even begun filming the picture. I thought she was a little chubby after seeing her images. I advised the secretary to trim down before starting work. In the interim, we began to shoot.
He claimed that Divya Bharti only began filming for the movie five days before it was finished.
