Rohit Shetty reveals ‘breaking bones’ runs in his family; recalls his mother playing body-double to Hema Malini and Vyjayantimala

Being one of the most renowned filmmakers, it is a known fact that Rohit Shetty has had a long-standing connection with the film industry since his childhood. The superstar-filmmaker’s parents were stunt artists and recently the actor recalled how his connection with action is something that he has had since his childhood. He also revealed how his father M.B. Shetty sustained injuries as a stuntman and recalled his mother Ratna Shetty playing body-double to yesteryear stars like Hema Malini and Vyjayantimala.

Recently, in an interview with ANI, Rohit Shetty confessed that breaking bones is a kind of family business when he opened up about his parents’ journey as stunt artists in the film industry. He said, “He directed the action sequences in Deewar, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Great Gambler, Don, An Evening in Paris, and Trishul. He invented the glass break. He got lots of cuts. He used to come home with blood stains and stitches.”

He further went on to add, how his mother used to play body doubles to some of the most popular actresses. In fact, he revealed that she was Hema Malini’s body double in her iconic drama Seetha Aur Geetha. “My mom was a stuntwoman. She did Seeta Aur Geeta. The Hema Malini you see on the fan is actually my mom.” She added, “The Vyjayantimala rolling down the staircase—it’s her; her physique was such.”

He finally added how breaking bones is a part of the family and concluded, “That’s why I am like this. It is a family business that breaks bones. It is in our DNA to break our own bones.”

Rohit Shetty was recently seen promoting yet another addition to his ambitious copverse, the web-show Indian Police Force starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty, and Vivek Oberoi.

The National Museum of Indian Cinema, under National Film Development Corporation of India Limited (NFDC) presents ‘Chronicles of Timeless Treasures’

Posted On: 20 APR 2024 8:39PM by PIB Mumbai

Mumbai, India, April 20, 2024

The National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC), under National Film Development Corporation of India Limited (NFDC) was thrilled to announce the screening of the iconic film "Jewel Thief" as part of its esteemed series, ‘Chronicles of Timeless Treasures’. Every Saturday at 4 pm, cinephiles are invited to indulge in the splendor of restored classic cinema at NMIC.

"Jewel Thief," a 1967 masterpiece directed by the renowned Vijay Anand, stands as one of Indian Cinema's finest suspense dramas. This meticulously restored classic, made possible by the dedicated efforts of the National Film Heritage Mission by National Film Archive of India (NFAI), Pune, promises to transport audiences to a bygone era of cinematic brilliance.

To mark this exclusive event, NMIC was honored to welcome the esteemed actress Ms. Esha Gupta as the chief guest. Ms. Gupta's presence adds an aura of elegance and significance to this celebration of cinematic excellence.

Speaking about the efforts, Esha Gupta said- “Along with the older generation, this initiative undertaken by NFDC-NMIC-NFAI will make the younger generation aware of the beautiful cinema legacy of Indian Cinema.” As someone from the film fraternity, she spoke about the stark contrast in the techniques of filmmaking. “Being an admirer of Vyjayantimala, I was awestruck by her natural beauty on screen when I witnessed the movie Jewel Thief here and the elegant grace with which the yesteryear heroines used to carry themselves”.

In conjunction with the screening, NMIC recently hosted a "Capture Your Moment" contest, inviting visitors to explore the museum and create reels in collaboration with the institution. The winning entry was selected by Esha Gupta herself, who expressed her joy at the opportunity to visit the museum and witness the restoration of such a beloved classic.
