Former actor Anu Aggarwal talked about a severe accident which happened near Mumbai’s Marine Drive in 1991 post her car was hounded by a large group of people who started banging on the window. While speaking in a recent interview she revealed the intense fear which led her left her car and take a taxi to evade from the situation.
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Anu said, “They started banging my car, my windows shouting, ‘Anu, Anu’. There was no driver, I was driving the car. I was thinking, ‘They will break my car, pull me out.’ I’m a fearless child, first time in my life I experienced fear. Thousands of people beating my car, screaming ‘Anu’. Unka haath mere pe pad jaata toh pata nahi kya hota mera (Had they got hold of me, what would have happened to me). That kind of madness.”
“I jumped out of the car from another door, ran towards a taxi, got into the taxi, and left the car there. I was going to the Taj for dinner, I had a meeting there. They said, ‘What happened? Where’s your car? I said, ‘It’s there, standing on Marine Drive’. Those days we didn’t have cell phones. The people I was having a meeting with their driver went, picked up my car and dropped it at my home. It’s like helplessness,” she further added.
Anu was first featured in Isi Bahane in 1988, broadcasted in Doordarshan. She stepped into Bollywood with the superhit Aashiqui in 1990. She also worked in couple of films like Ghazab Tamasha (1992), Thiruda Thiruda, Khal-Naaikaa and King Uncle (1993), Janam Kundli (1995), and Return of Jewel Thief (1996).
