, who reportedly experienced temporary memory loss after filming a demanding scene for an Ajay Devgn movie. The episode occurred during a sequence that required him to stand directly beneath a powerful waterfall—without any protective gear.The memory lapse was recently brought to public attention by actor Kajol in an interview with Mashable India. She shared that the incident unfolded on the set of one of Ajay Devgn’s films, where Amrish Puri was supposed to shoot under a waterfall. According to Kajol, the intensity of the water’s force coupled with the absence of head protection led to Puri becoming disoriented. When he emerged from the waterfall, he could not recognize his surroundings or even recall his identity, reportedly asking, “Who am I? What am I doing?”

The confusion and concern on the set were immediate. Crew members were alarmed by Puri’s condition, and filming was halted. The veteran actor remained in a disoriented state for nearly three hours before eventually regaining his memory. Kajol emphasized that while the incident might sound unbelievable in retrospect, it was a very serious situation at the time.

She likened the episode to her own experience of brief memory loss during the shooting of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which also stemmed from a fall while filming a cycling scene. In both cases, the actors eventually recovered, but the events highlighted how physically demanding and potentially dangerous film shoots can be—even for seasoned professionals.Amrish Puri and Ajay Devgn collaborated on several films over the years, including Phool Aur Kaante, Hulchul, Taarzan: The Wonder Car, and Gair. Kajol revealed that through these frequent projects, Puri developed a strong fondness for Devgn. She mentioned in the interview that Puri “loved Ajay,” pointing to the bond they shared both on and off the screen.Amrish Puri, known for his iconic roles in Indian cinema—particularly as a powerful villain—passed away in 2005 at the age of 72. He had been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a rare form of blood cancer. In the final days of his life, he underwent brain surgery as part of his treatment.
