Kartik Aaryan shares spooky incident from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 sets
When host Kapil Sharma asked Kartik if he’d ever had any haunted encounters, the actor shared an incident that occurred during the filming of 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', the third installment in the popular comedy-horror franchise directed by Anees Bazmee.
Kartik said, “Ek badi haveli thi, andhera tha, pura atmosphere hi darawna sa tha. Hamara shot lene se pehle hi, main to kissi se baat hi kar raha tha, ki achanak se kisi ne mujhe peeche se scratch kar diya! Triptii ko to laga ki main koi improvise ya acting kar raha tha shot ke pehle par tab maine bola ki, ‘Nahi yaar mujhe sach main kuch scratch kiya hain.’ Par hamare peeche koi tha bhi nahi tha…” (It was a big mansion, it was dark, and the whole atmosphere was scary. Before taking our shot, I was talking to someone, when suddenly someone scratched me from the back! Triptii thought I was improvising or acting; but before the shot, I said, ‘Someone had actually scratched me.’ But in reality, no one was there behind us…)
Director Anees Bazmee also shared a strange experience, recalling a time he felt as if a cat was strangling him while working on a psychological film involving cats. The situation became so intense that his mother advised him not to sleep alone and arranged for a man to stay with him. However, Bazmee humorously recounted how that man ended up running away one night after Bazmee had a similar eerie encounter.
