Anu Aggarwal Supports Paresh Rawal's Claim Of Drinking Urine: 'It's Considered Amrit'
Last Updated:
Paresh Rawal had shared the surprising remedy in an interview, recalling how he followed action director Veeru Devgan's advice during his recovery from an accident
Anu Aggarwal has reacted to veteran actor Paresh Rawal's recent revelation that he drank his own urine to recover from a serious knee injury. Rawal had shared the surprising remedy in an interview with The Lallantop, recalling how he followed action director Veeru Devgan's advice during his recovery from an accident on the set of Ghatak.
Backing Rawal, Anu told Instant Bollywood, 'Many people don't know this… whether it's ignorance or just a lack of awareness, but drinking urine, which is referred to as Aamroli, is actually a mudra (gesture/practice) in Hatha Yoga. I've practiced it myself. All of us have tried it, and it's a very important practice. But one crucial thing to remember is that you don't drink the entire urine stream. Only a specific part of it is consumed, the midstream portion which is considered amrit (nectar). It's known to help with anti-aging, keeping your skin wrinkle-free… it's truly amazing not just for health, but overall well-being. I've personally experienced its benefits."
When questioned about science not supporting such practices, she responded, 'How old is science? Around 200 years. But Yoga? It's been around for over 10,000 years. So whose wisdom will you trust? I support Yoga. I live Yoga."
Rawal had explained that while filming Ghatak, he was injured during a scene with actor Rakesh Pandey. He was rushed to Nanavati Hospital by Danny Denzongpa and Tinnu Anand. Fearing long-term damage, he was advised by Veeru Devgan to start drinking his own urine every morning. 'All fighters do this. You will never face any problem," Devgan had told him.
Rawal added, 'I will sip it like a beer because if I have to follow through, I will do so properly." After following the practice for 15 days, Rawal claimed his recovery time was significantly shortened, surprising even his doctors.

Naseeruddin Shah shouted at me after watching my shows, recalls Amruta Subhash: ‘I would rather see you failing'
Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah had a few words to say to Amruta Subhash after watching her performance on stage. In an interview with The Lallantop, Amruta shared that she was expecting 'Naseer saab' to praise her acting and was already quite proud of herself that she earned applause on stage. Instead, she got a scolding from him when Naseeruddin said that he is 'concerned' for her after seeing the performance. (Also read: Amruta Subhash was rejected from a dance group because of her skin colour: 'Started believing that I wasn't beautiful') During the interaction, Amruta went on to recall the scenario. She shared that during her performance, there was one specific part where her character had to cry, and she would make sure to elicit applause from the audience in that bit. One day, when she noticed that Naseer saab was present, she did the same, and it made her feel proud. Interestingly, Naseer Saab sat for a second show of the play too. After the play, she met him at the tea shop. She added, "He came to me, and he was like, 'Amruta…' I was like, 'Yes sir', and he said, 'I watched your play' and the proud me was like, 'Okay and?' He then said, 'Beta, I am concerned.' I was shocked. I was like I received so much applause for my work, why is he so concerned?' He then told me, 'Beta, I watched both the shows, and you did the same thing for claps.' He was very angry. He said in a higher tone, 'I would rather see you failing doing something new rather than doing the same thing again and again for claps, okay?' I was like, 'Okay, sir, sorry.' He asked whether the character even needed to cry. He said you're forcing yourself on the character and not letting it explore anything new. You will be repetitive as an actor. Your career will be over. That incident changed things in me and shifted something in me.' Amruta is a National Award winning actor who has worked in Killa, Vihir, Contract, Raman Raghav 2.0, Gully Boy, and Dhamaka. She was most recently seen in Chidiya which also stars Vinay Pathak, and Svar Kamble. Directed by Mehran Amrohi, the film hit theaters on May 30.
