actor Ashish Sharma, will not forget for a long
time to come. After all, it does not happen
every day that an actor, resting in his vanity
van, meets with a paranormal experience that
leaves him gasping for his breath!
With the date - December 12, 2012 (12/12/12)
- looming large, Zee TV decided to shoot a
special 'Doomsday' promo with the 'bad guys'
across its primetime shows, each one
challenging the protagonists of their respective
shows that 12/12/12 will be their day and they
will emerge victorious.
Dressed in black from top to toe, actors Ashish
Sharma (Ranveer of Rab Se Sohna Isshq), Usha
Nadkarni (Savita tai of Pavitra Rishta), Vineet
Raina (Prashant of Punarvivaah) and Varun
Badola (Vikram of Phir Subah Hogi) will make a
fiery proclamation that the Doomsday is when
their evil intentions to create havoc in the lives
of the main leads will come true and they will
finally get what they have always fought for!
All episodes of Zee TV's primetime shows on
12/12/12 will be told from the perspective of
each of these villains.
To bring alive the evil flavor of the Doomsday
drama, it was decided that this villains promo
should be shot at Mukesh Mills in Mumbai - an
eerie and deserted location known for being
spooked by ghosts.
Little did the crew know that one of its actors
would actually get a real taste of what legend
associates with the location.
When Ashish Sharma landed at Mukesh Mills in
the evening, he realized that some of his
costumes weren't ready and that he'd have to
wait until 10 pm for his sequences.
Given that his shot was a good 3 hours later,
the actor decided to catch a little shut-eye in
the vanity.
However, when the actor woke up to a call on
his cell phone, he was shocked when he found
himself unable to get up and receive the call.
The actor says, "It was almost as if someone
was sitting on me and pressing down hard
against my chest, not wanting to let me get up!
I was in a state of complete panic as I wasn't
even able to move my fingers. I have never
experienced anything like this."
It was only ten minutes later when a crew
member opened the vanity door and stepped
in, that the pressure eased off at once and
Ashish could rise from the bed.
Looking at beads of sweat on his forehead and
his aghast expression, the crew member
enquired what was wrong.
Ashish was too shell-shocked to describe his
experience.
But he later told a few of his Rab Se Sohna
Isshq unit members what had transpired in the
vanity van.
It was, then, that they all sat and discussed all
the spooky rumors they had heard about
Mukesh Mills over the years and everyone
decided to stick together rather than
wandering off anywhere alone.
