Responsible driver

Actress Saumya Tandon from Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain has never consumed bhang herself but says it had turned her into a chauffeur for her friends once! “I have seen my friends have bhang and behave in a funny way. I have always carried my friends back home safely, so I was the chauffeur for everyone,” says Saumya, who remembers how one of her friends even cried for eight hours, thanks to bhang. “It was actually quite a scary sight. But, yes, if you see me on the dance floor, I dance as if I am drunk or have had bhang. Everyone tells me, ‘You don’t need bhang, you are anyway wild on the dance floor’,” she quips.

Being normal

Vikkas Manaktala, known best for his role in Left Right Left, says nothing happens to him after having bhang! “Every time I have had bhang, there has been no buzz. I have been as normal as I was before having it. And I am talking about having at least four to five litres of it,” Vikkas says.

Funny moment

While May I Come In Madam? actress Nehha Pendse hasn’t tried bhang even once in her life, she still has a funny moment to share. She said: “I have never tried bhang, but don’t mind trying it once in my life. Once we were shooting for a sequence of Holi and one of my co-stars had a glass of milk, but started acting as if he had bhang and pulled everyone’s leg.”   — IANS
