Puneet Israni (l) and Chetan Hansraj
TV actor Chetan Hansraj and a participant in Ekta Kapoor's Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket, Puneet Israni, were recently engaged in a scuffle that turned so ugly on the sets, that the crew members had to intervene.
The scuffle took place last Tuesday in Filmalaya Studios (Andheri) when Chetan lost his cool after Puneet took a dig at television celebrities, and said that he doesn't think highly of them.
When we contacted Puneet, he shrugged off the episode saying, "Such things happen in life. I said that TV celebs can't fare well in Bollywood and Chetan took it very badly. But it's okay."
Chetan was frank about the episode and says, "Puneet and I got into an ugly situation. He was misbehaving right from the first episode and aiming obscene gestures at the film fraternity, including Jeetendra, Sunil Shetty and Mahesh Manjrekar, who were present on the sets.
Mahesh and I asked him to take it easy, but he wouldn't understand. The situation got embarrassing. He even used abuses on the sets. I couldn't help it, I lost my temper and gave him a shove."
An eyewitness tells us that Chetan was so furious, that he had to meditate for 20 minutes to calm his nerves and regain his composure!
