Pooja Banerjee On Horrific Fire Engulfing The Sets Of Kumkum Bhagya: I Was In Tears, Had Flashback Of My Accident During Nach Baliye - EXCLUSIVE
For Pooja Bannerjee, fire on the sets of Kumkum Bhagya seems to have brought back memories of her painful injury on the sets of Nach Baliye.
On Saturday evening a fire broke out on the sets of KumKum Bhagya in Mumbai. Thankfully, no injuries were reported even though the fire was a major one. We had access to some videos from the set that demonstrated the extent of the fire. We could see the cast and crew being rescued. However Pooja Banerjee who just recently joined the cast as Rhea (Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha's daughter) was extremely disturbed with the incident. The actress was seen crying after the accident took place and we called her up to know if she is doing fine now.
Talking to SpotboyE.com Pooja said, "The day fire broke on the sets I was shooting for KumKum Bhagya till afternoon and after wrapping my scenes, I went to Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 sets which are just next door. And I couldn't stop my tears as I saw the set catching fire, in front of my eyes. I was the only person who was crying. My family wanted me to rest for some days and then get back to work looking at the pandemic situation outside, but I had convinced them saying that there are a lot of people who are jobless right now, so if I have work, I don't want to lose out on it. The very first day I joined Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 shoot after lockdown, Kumkum Bhagya offer came my way. So I got all excited as I get to be part of 2 big shows and that too with all conviction as we shoot in the same compound. As both the shows belong to Balaji Telefilms, I have the same makeup room also."
Pooja goes on to add, "Then in no time Parth Samthaan (Anurag) tested positive for Coronavirus and shooting came to a halt. And after that when I resumed shooting after 4-5 days with all positivity, this (fire) happened. So I was like no it can't happen again. And probably I was in tears because I had too much fear inside me due to my previous accident on Nach Baliye. When I saw this fire breaking out in front of my eyes, I started crying. After which my cos-stars came running towards me. Like Sriti Jha asked me, 'Are you ok?', I said 'I am absolutely fine. It's just that why is this even happening. I am feeling really very sad.'"
She added, "I remember when this whole runout situation started everyone quickly vacated the area where their cars were parked. Everyone, except me. I learnt driving so I would not have to depend on anyone. It was just my second day of driving the car and going to the set. Before this I always had a driver. And after the incident I am also scared of driving."
For those who are uninitiated, Pooja Banerjee had a deadly fall, last year, on the sets of Nach Baliye 9. Unfortunately, her journey was cut short on the show as she met with a major accident. She had a nasty fall from 10 feet and landed straight on her hand, fracturing both the wrists and spraining a ligament in her left leg. And now after a year also she hasn't recovered completely. Talking to us over an Instagram live chat in April this year Pooja had revealed, "What happened in Nach Baliye 9 was sad, like I have lost almost 50% of my right hand's movement. It doesn't bend and that is a big loss for me. And no matter how much I try I don't think that movement I will be able to get back. It all depends on my will power and physiotherapy. During the lockdown, I am trying to heal my injury. But I still want to do more reality shows because I love them".
