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.
