When stars blow a fuse

They're known to throw temper tantrums, though not always without reason. Some of our television actors tell us what has made them fly off the handle lately

Gurdeep kohli
I'm a true Punjab di kudi, and so I fly off the handle at the smallest instigation. I once lost my entire make-up kit because of the negligence of a unit hand. My instant reaction was to scream my lungs out at him. But I later felt bad because he was a middle-aged man.

I once saw a cabbie having an altercation with a girl on the road. He was getting overly aggressive and she looked like she needed help. I intervened, and tried to bail her out, but the matter escalated into a brawl. I don't generally lose my temper but the cabbie actually pushed me and we got into a fist fight.

Afew months ago, I realised that I was being stalked. A weird man was following me around. I tried to ignore him for a day but when I saw him again the next day I yelled at him on the street. He ran away immediately. One normally tends to get scared in such scenarios, and this gives the opponent the upper hand. But I feel offence is the best form of defence.

Ekta kapoor
I'm famous for my temper. Although, I must say that with age and experience I have sobered down. I am a perfectionist and I want things to happen just so, and if they don't, I lose my cool. Flinging mobile phones at people was a regular affair with me before. It was my way venting my irritation. But not anymore.

Vikas Bhalla
A drunken driver was messing around with me on the road, and threatening to bang into my car. I tried to avoid him but it reached a point when I had to stop my car, pull him out and teach him a lesson. Despite my beating him up, he didn't react as he knew he was at fault. Drinking and driving is a crime, not just a hazard.

A credit card executive, who looked positively dubious, was troubling me endlessly. He kept visiting my house for days until I decided to taken serious action. I asked the security guards of my complex to hand him over to the cops. As expected, he turned out to be a conman.

I saw a street woman beat a small boy mercilessly on the streets. I was so angry that, on an impulse, I went and pulled her away by her plait. My sole intention was to free the boy from her. Trust me, I don't regret my reaction to date.
