When
Roopa
Ganguly
Failed
To
Recognise
Nitish
Recalling
an
incident,
the
actor
mentioned,
"I
remember
one
time,
when
the
scenes
of
Lord
Parshurama
were
being
shot
and
those
episodes
had
not
gone
on
air
yet,
I
was
sitting
on
the
sets
of
Vishnu
Puran
in
proper
avatar.
Roopa
Ganguly,
who
at
that
time
was
pursuing
her
career
in
Bengali
cinema,
had
come
to
Mumbai
to
meet
Ravi
Chopra
and
me."
Nitish
Said…
The
actor
further
said
that
Roopa
kept
on
searching
for
him
while
sitting
next
to
him!
He
added
that
he
did
not
speak
to
her
deliberately
and
it
was
only
after
30
minutes
when
she
asked
Ravi
Chopra
for
him,
she
realised
that
she
was
sitting
beside
him
all
this
while.
He
added
that
Roopa
was
surprised.
Hema
Malini
Couldn't
Recognise
Nitish
In
Parshurama
Avatar
Nitish
also
recalled
how
Hema
Malini
failed
to
recognise
him
and
said,
"The
same
thing
also
happened
when
I
travelled
with
Hema
Maliniji
on
a
flight.
Talking
to
me
about
the
character,
she
wondered
how
Raviji
had
managed
to
find
an
actor
to
play
Parshurama,
whose
eyes
resembled
mine."
Hema
Playfully
Taunted
Him
For
Putting
Her
On
The
Spot
The
actor
said
that
Hema
Malini
didn't
seem
to
recognise
that
he
was,
in
fact,
the
actor
who
played
the
role
and
so,
he
decided
to
play
along
and
told
her
that
Raviji
had
to
audition
almost
50-60
actors.
It
was
only
a
week
later
that
she
called
him
and
playfully
taunted
him
for
putting
her
on
the
spot.
