Bhooth Bangla Promotion Viral Video: Rajpal Yadav Clarifies What Happened
Talking about the incident, Rajpal said that he had reached the photo session a little late and quickly joined the group. Because of that, he accidentally stood in the middle, while Akshay Kumar wanted the actresses to stand in the centre for the photo and the male actors on the sides.
He told ANI, “Us din ke vivaad ki baat karun to main, Akshay paaji aur Ekta dono aa gaye the aur woh ladkiyan aa gayi thi. Mera wait ho raha tha. Main jaise hi bhaag ke aaya to ladkiyon ke beech mein tha, to Akshay paaji mujhse keh rahe the ki apan mahilaon ko beech mein rakhenge aur ek taraf main khada hoonga, ek taraf tu khada hoga. Aur ye actually Akshay bhai ka sanskaar hai ki hum log aapas mein is tareeke ki baat karke aise khade hue the.”
Rajpal said the moment looked different on camera, but it was only about arranging people properly for the photo. He added, “Door se pata nahi aap logon ne kya samjha. Actually, Akshay bhai ne ek gesture kiya tha ki jab teen ladkiyan ho aur do male ho, to teen female hamesha beech mein ho, ek taraf ek male, doosri taraf doosra male. To ek combination ke hisaab se Akshay bhai bata rahe the ki kaise choreography hoti hai. Uske baad hum log khade hue aur pata nahi usko vivaad ka roop de diya.”
