It was during the shooting of the comedy film Ready in Sri Lanka when the actor received the heartbreaking news of his mother’s demise. Paresh Rawal, one of the most prominent figures in the Indian film industry, recently, opened up about the fabricated story following the passing away of his mother in 2010. It was during the shooting of the comedy film Ready in Sri Lanka when the actor received the heartbreaking news of his mother’s demise, after which a news portal claimed that the actor was reluctant to leave the shoot, and it was Salman Khan who had convinced him to return for the funeral.
Speaking to The Lallantop, the Hera Pheri actor said, “Woh jisne likhwai toh woh kisi ko please karne ke liye," (Whoever got that written did it to please someone). He firmly added that Salman would never do something like that. “Mujhe achhi tarah yaad hai ki Salman Khan aisa nahi karega.
Salman Khan ki family ko achhe se jaanta hoon, unki family true blooded hai (I clearly remember that Salman Khan would never do such a thing. I know Salman Khan’s family well, they are true-blooded)." Furthermore, Paresh claimed that the story was completely fake, but admitted that several members of his family believed it and questioned him.
“Ghar mein saghe waale toh padhte hai na, unhone kaha yeh kya kiya tune, tumhari maa hai who (Family members at home read it, asking, what have you done, she was your mother)." Later, Paresh discovered who wrote the story. He warned that if the person ever came in front of him, they would face severe repercussions.
He characterised the situation as “gandagi" (filth) and expressed his disappointment. Talking about his mother’s demise, the actor shared that his mother was ill, but the doctor told him he could leave for a three-day shoot because she was on life support and would be fine. However, his mother died shortly after he left town to shoot in Sri Lanka.
“I was in Lanka when my sister informed me that our mother was no more and I decided to return immediately," said Paresh. However, due to limited flights from Sri Lanka, the actor had to wait a full day before boarding a 3 am flight back to Mumbai. He attempted to distract himself from his strong emotions by filming a little sequence with Mahesh Manjrekar.
“Main kaha kuch hai, scene wagera toh kar daal warna main mar jaunga (I asked whether there was anything, a scene or something, Otherwise, I will die)," he recalled telling the director. Later on, upon his return to Mumbai, the actor discovered the fake story of Salman Khan convincing him to attend his mother’s last rites..
