He has recently reacted to the controversy surrounding his remark about drinking his own urine. Facing backlash online, the actor hit back at trolls with a sarcastic comment.
In conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Paresh Rawal was asked to comment on the controversy that emerged after his comments on drinking urine. Hitting back at trolls, he said, 'I haven't offered them (urine), right? Or are they having a problem because I didn't offer them? Are they feeling, 'Yaar yeh akele pee gaye aur humko nahin diya?'!"
'It's an incident of my life which took place 40 years ago. Woh maine bol diya. Usme kya ho gaya? People enjoy making a mountain out of a molehill. Karne do unko mazaa," he added.

In April, Paresh Rawal revealed that he injured his leg while shooting for a scene with Rakesh Pandey, post which Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa rushed him to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. Paresh Rawal said that he was 'petrified' and thought that his career had ended. He then revealed that late action director Veeru Devgan visited him in the hospital and suggested him to consume his own urine to help him heal faster.
While speaking with The Lallantop, Paresh Rawal said, 'Veeru Devgan had come to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital). When he got to know I was there, he came up to me and asked what happened to me? I told him about my leg injury." He then revealed what Veeru Devgan advised him. 'He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning. All fighters do this. You will never face any problem, just drink urine first thing in the morning. He told me not to consume alcohol, which I had stopped, mutton or tobacco. He told me to eat regular food and urine in the morning."
'I will sip it like a beer because if I have to follow through, I will do so properly. I did for 15 days and when the X-ray reports came in, the doctor was surprised," said Paresh Rawal. The doctor saw a white lining on the X-ray, indicating that it is healed. He shared that while it would have normally taken about 2 to 2.5 months for the injury to heal, he was healed in a month and a half!
On the professional front, Paresh Rawal will next be seen in Priyadarshan's upcoming horror comedy Bhooth Bangla, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Tabu. He also has Hera Pheri 3 in the pipeline, co-starring Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty.

However, many believe it may have all been a PR stunt to stay in the limelight. Reacting to the speculations, Akshay cleared the air. Talking to Hindustan Times, he said, 'Nahi, yeh publicity stunt nahi hai (No this isn't a publicity stunt).' 'The things went legal, so when legal things are involved, we cannot call it a publicity stunt; it is a real thing.' He further added, 'But ab sab kuch thik ho gaya hai. Very soon, some kind of announcement can come. Yes, there were some ups and downs. But now everything is solved, and we are back together, and we have always been together. Yes, that's it,' he added. The news of Paresh Rawal's exit left fans disappointed some time ago. Akshay Kumar, who is also producing the third installment of the hit comedy franchise through his banner Cape of Good Films, filed a lawsuit against Paresh Rawal. Reportedly, he sued him, demanding ₹ 25 crore in damages. It was reported that Paresh subsequently returned the ₹ 11 lakh signing amount with 15% annual interest, along with an additional sum, to formally confirm his exit from the project. Paresh Rawal, later, announced his return to the film. During his appearance on Himanshu Mehta's podcast, the senior actor said, "It was always meant to happen, but we needed to fine-tune a few things. All of them—Priyadarshan, Akshay, Suniel—are not only creative minds but also longtime friends." Talking about the legal dispute, Paresh Rawal reacted to the controversy and added, 'There's nothing like that. I believe when the audience has showered so much love on something, it becomes our responsibility to deliver our best. You can't take that love for granted. Work hard and give them a good film. My view was that everyone should come together, work sincerely. That's all. Everything is resolved now.' The film is expected to be out in 2026.
