Sony SAB Artists Get Goosebumps As They Talk About Their Paranormal Experiences

Karanvir Sharma (Arjun in MangalamDangalam)

Imagine entering at the wee hours and checking in to a hotel room of a very prominent hotel in Jaipur. I got done with the day, trying to unwind and ready to hit the bed. Just then, there’s a gush of air that goes across my face. So, obviously I go and try to switch off the AC but to my surprise, it was never switched on in the first place. I go check the windows, nothing there as well. It was a hotel room after all, not much scope of ventilation. This left me surprised and scared, finally leading me to change my room. I don’t believe in ghosts or things like this but there was something unusual that I felt. Maybe I was too tired or maybe not. So, this is only the closest paranormal activity that I have experienced.

However, thankfully, I never came across a ghost and even if I do, I hope the ghost has an amazing sense of humor.

An incident took place when I was studying MA in dramatics in Chandigarh. As I finished my rehearsals, I left for my home in Panjore by a bus. It was 12.30am and I was on for a 12km journey. Since I was too tired, I slept during the journey and reached 4km ahead of my destination. After enquiring for long, I couldn’t find any mode of transport back to Panjore and decided to walk all the way. It was extremely dark and cold and I couldn’t see anyone for miles. As I was walking, I suddenly felt as if someone was following me. I turned to look who it was, but didn’t see anyone. It happened again and there wasn’t anyone again. Later, I observed a shadow walking alongside me and I freaked out. I ran as fast as I could, chanting Hanuman Chalisa and making sure not to turn around. I ran all the way and stopped only in front of my house, panting.

I never found out what that shadow was but I can never forget that night.

NeeluKohli (Sarita in Band Baja Bandh Darwaza)

I am the kinds who would never believe in something like ghosts but I have had an incident, on a set. This was years back when we were shooting for ‘Bhabhi’ in MBC studio. In that studio, we used to get different makeup rooms according to availability and there was one set of makeup rooms which everyone said was haunted. But me being me, I never believed in something like this. Once, I and 2 other costars had a break of 2 scenes and we were resting in our very tiny makeup rooms. Later, as I was sleeping, my makeup man came and woke me up in order to give a touch up and just then I heard knocking sounds. My instant reaction was to loudly ask my costar, in the room besides mine, why she was knocking but she refused to have knocked. As I and my makeup man came out of the room, the knocking became louder and we could see the door of the locked makeup room vibrating. Everyone’s heart was racing at that moment. Seeing the door locked from outside, I assumed someone was locked in and forced the watchmen to open the lock, in spite of them saying that there’s a ghost inside. On opening the door, we found nobody inside and everyone freaked out.

I get goosebumps even now, thinking of that day.
