Puneet Issar says ‘Salman Khan ne mujhe fasa diya' as he reveals about doing Bigg Boss against his wish
Puneet Issar narrates how Salman Khan forcefully made him sign the Bigg Boss
While revealing the details, the Mahabharat actor said, 'I was going to make a film with Salman, I used to keep going to his house to narrate the script to him. Wo tab Bigg Boss house mein hota tha, bola Puns udhar aaja yaar. So, when those guys (BB team) saw me, they were like isko daalte hai Bigg Boss house ke andar. So they went to Salman. Let's put Puneet in this. So he said, 'Take him. ' Maine kaha pagal hai kya, mere ko nahi karna. Main picture direct kar raha hu, chhod na yaar. Isne fasa diya mere ko.'
Further, Puneet Issar went on to reveal how Salman Khan made him sign the papers. He narrated what Salman told him, 'Puns, you will have to do it. Do one thing, Go. Ek do hafte ke liye jaa, bahar le aaunga tere ko. I'll take you out.'
Puneet signed the papers without knowing the format and got cold-feeted when his daughter made him watch a couple of episodes. He said, 'Bola tu sign kar paper par yaar. Mere ko kya pata maine sign kar diya. Main ghar pahucha meri beti se maine bola I'm going to the Bigg Boss house. She said, 'Dad, are you mad? You know what Bigg Boss is? Maine kaha No. Have you ever watched any episode? Watch something.' Usne mujhe ek-do episode dikhaya main darr gaya. I got cold feet.'
Puneet Issar got terrified after watching the Dolly Bindra episode
Puneet mentioned that he watched that Dolly Bindra episode and got terrified that these people are abusing and cursing each other openly. Further, the actor highlighted that he went inside the house for 2-3 weeks but stayed there for almost 3 months.
Puneet concluded by saying that Bigg Boss should be named 'correction center' as it changes you completely and makes you learn hunger management, anger management, and instill discipline in you.
For the unversed, Puneet Issar and Salman Khan share a brother-like bond. Puneet had also directed the Bollywood Megastar in Garv: Pride and Honour. He participated in Bigg Boss Season 8.

Siddharth Anand drops a hilarious tweet amid 'Tara Rum Pum' comparisons to Brad Pitt's 'F1'
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 2 (ANI): Filmmaker Siddharth Anand's directorial 'Tara Rum Pum', which was released in 2007, is remembered by fans to date. And now when Hollywood icon Brad Pitt's film 'F1' is doing wonders at the box office, Indian fans have surprisingly created memes, joking about how the international film is inspired by Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji-starrer 'Tara Rum Pum'. Seems like those memes caught Siddharth's attention as he on Tuesday dropped a post, calling 'Tara Rum Pum' a 'lovely beast.' 'Tara Rum Pum' follows the story of a race car driver, RV (Saif), and his wife Radhika (Rani), as they face life's highs and lows with their two children. Meanwhile, Siddharth is currently busy shooting for 'King', which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan among others. 'King' was supposed to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh earlier. However, Siddharth Anand, who directed SRK in 'Pathaan', later took over as the director. A few months ago, at an event in Dubai, SRK opened up about King, saying, 'I'm not just shooting it here, I'm shooting it in Mumbai now when I go back in a couple of months. My director, who is Sidharth Anand, is very strict. He made Pathaan. So he is very strict. He said, 'Don't tell people about the film, what you are doing in it.' So I can't tell you but I can assure you it will entertain you, you will have fun. I've used many we have run out of Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan in King. That was a bit of a show-off.' The film went on floors in Mumbai recently. (ANI)
