New Delhi: Host of the streaming chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’, Karan Johar, revealed that while he was working on the classic movie ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, the late actor Amrish Puri ‘traumatised’ him. As an assistant director on the Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol film, KJo was scared by Amrish Puri because the latter was precise about the scene details.

During the new episode, Karan reminisced about the old times, as he said, “I have to tell you, my father and Amrish ji ( Amrish Puri) come from the same village, so the first person my father told me whose feet I had to touch was Amrish ji’s.”
Ajay Devgn said, “The only person whose feet I have touched is also Amrish ji because the first shot I took with him, I touched his feet.”
“So I used to be very scared of him. When I was an AD on ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, he was particular about detailing, he would come and say ki time kya hai? I gave the time of what the time was, I thought he was asking me the time. He said, London mein time kya hai? scene ka time kya hai? Taaki mein ghadi ko uss time mein set karu. About the continuity, he said, shawl kis tarah mein drape karun, I used to be traumatised by him. He was such a wonderful man,” Karan added.
Talking about Amrish Puri, Ajay Devgn said, “They used to say, and it is a fact, that kisi ke ghar pe shaadi ho, kisi ke ghar pe koi death ho jaaye, he was the first man to be there.”
