Thinking back on the event, she noted it could have been worse, as her whole leg was burnt because of him and she jokingly added she had felt like killing him. In her words:
"He's driven so fast that he has lost control. He doesn't know how to ride a bike. He's done a wheelie and I have flown off with my wedding dress and the motorbike has fallen on me. It could have been really bad. My whole leg was burnt, thanks to him."
Neelam Kothari recalled advising Chunky Panday to use someone else for the scene after the accident, but the actor proposed doing the scene himself. The Hum Saath Saath Hain actress shared that she truly wanted to 'kill' him for keeping her waiting on the sets of the 1987 movie, Aag Hi Aag .
