April
Fool's Day is around the corner! We quizzed
some television actors and found out how
much of a prankster they are !
Riya V Anandwala
finds out!
Priya
Wal-
"No one can fool Arshi!"
Well, it's really difficult to recall of
the pranks I have played, as there are many.
I remember this particular April Fool's
day, when I was in Delhi. I had red ink
with me, which I had put on the lower portion
of my face, near my chin. My mom was in
her bedroom, and laid myself outside her
room. As soon as she opened the door, she
was half dead. So it was quite a prank.
No one ever fooled me, you see, no one can
fool Arshi!
Amit Khanna- "The after effects were
bad!"
Well, I love playing pranks. I played one
on my mom. I bought a bouquet and a saree
and sent it to my residence address by courier,
with a chit attached to it which read, "I
am in love with you and will call, and you
have to meet me." My mother was very
scared, and was cursing that guy to the
core. This went on for four to five hours
and then I broke it. The after effects were
bad. I remember this incident where my cousin
brother called me and said," Amitji,
I am calling from Subhash Ghai's production
house, we have short listed you as our protagonist,
for Mukta Art's next project. The film's
name is After the Rape, and we have made
films like, Telephone Bhoot, Ganga mein
Nanga." Then obviously I got to know
that its my brother. But it was just too
much.
Rupali Ganguly-
" I was wanting to commit a suicide"
I have always played low category pranks.
But yes I have been fooled many a times.
Once, on the first of April I received a
letter saying that you have won the best
actress award for your Bengali film; I disbelieved
it, as I couldn't ever win such a prestigious
award. But then when I got my air tickets
a little later than that day, I got to know
that I was seriously being called. There
was another time, I was in my tenth grade,
and my childhood friend, considered a smart
dude told me that, "I have got to know
about our results, and you have failed in
history. "I got too scared and was
even planning to commit a suicide, though
I don't have the damn guts to do it. He
told me this on 30 of March and at night,
at 12.00 am, he told me that he was fooling
me. Oh what a prank that was.
Tina Parakh- "I
cannot tell you how embarrassing it was"
Well, I remember this one incident, which
took place long back. I was sitting at my
place, a friend of mine called me from down,
and said get dressed we are going out. I
was a little surprised, as this never usually
happens with me. I got totally dressed and
went down. I thought there was something
fishy going on and as soon as I went down,
there was no one at all. Later, I came up
to my place and saw that all my friends
were upstairs and said, "Happy April
Fool's Day". I cannot tell you how
embarrassing it was.
Vipul Gupta- "A
prankster is always alert!"
On the sets of India Calling, I was sitting
with all my co actors and the lights were
switched off. It had been six hours and
I was thoroughly bored. I called my makeup
man and put a white blanket on him and made
him hold a candle. He entered the room,
and as the lights were off, everyone started
shouting, ohh-aah! It was just too good.
As far as me being fooled is concerned,
I guess never, or may those small ones.
What happens is, once you yourself are a
big prankster, it is really difficult for
anyone to play a prank on you, as you are
always alert!
