Ali Asgar aka ‘Dadi’ gets injured
While shooting for an episode of ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’, Ali Asgar aka Dadi got injured. The incident took place when the cast of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, including Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol had come on the set to celebrate 1000 weeks of the completion of the film.
A source present at that time said, “As usual, Ali slipped into his character of Dadi and engaged in a fun and playful fistfight with Pankhudi (Kiku Sharda). He got so deeply engrossed in essaying the role that he did not realise when he hurt his shoulder. When he finally released himself from the clutches of Pankhudi, he realised that he could not move his right shoulder, neck and had to carefully be escorted outside.”
“It was when we moved towards Sidhuji’s chair that it happened. We don’t do asli maar-dhad but as a reaction to something that I did, Ali jumped towards Sidhuji’s chair. He jumped so fast that the arm of the sofa chair hit his neck. It was a bad muscle spasm but Ali did not show it. He walked back with me and as we were exiting the stage, he suddenly sat on a chair and I could see he was in shock. We got a glass of water for him and one of the guys who knew a little about physiotherapy helped him. He is fine now,” adds Kiku.
