When Aditya Pancholi Swore To Never Work In Films
Zarina recalled how Aditya narrated her an incident while he was working alongside Shammi Kapoor. A lavish room in a bungalow was setup to get Pancholi ready for one of his scenes. Moments later he realised that Shammi Kapoor, who will be performing alongside him was made to sit outside around the garden. Shammi’s makeup was being done around the bushes and he was not brought to the room like Pancholi. This disheartened Pancholi to the core. Even when he tried calling the remarkable star inside, he received a “NO” .
This incident disgusted Aditya Pancholi, making him think how harsh the industry could be with actors who performed as character artists. Zarina too stressed on the fact that the vision changes when a well-off hero starts performing as character artists. It was that day when Aditya Pancholi vowed to not work anymore in movies. As Zarina quotes his lines, “Jab mai Character Artiste banne jaunga, I will not work. Jab Shammi Ji ke saath aisa kar sakte hai to hum kaun hai”.
Talking about his work, Pancholi last appeared in Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, and thereafter rejected when Heeramandi was offered, committing to his words of vow. Zarina and Aditya are married from 36 years and have relished a bond over these decades.
