Pearl V Puri jumps into fire to save Hiba Nawab!

Actors always like looking their best by sporting their fit physique, charming smile and glamorous attitude.

While actors often opt for a stunt double to take on their action sequences, there are a few celebrities who choose to skip the double and do it themselves to bring in authenticity to their character and the sequence.

Well, one such actor is the hot and happening Pearl V Puri, who decided to go that extra mile for his new show Meri Saasu Maa.

Essaying the role of Sattu, a rich young and eligible milk baron's son from Lucknow, Pearl Pearl was supposed to jump in to fire while trying to save Pari (Hiba Nawab) for his introduction sequence. While the production had organized for a stuntman, who was supposed to enact the scene as Pearl's body double, the actor decided to go ahead and do it on his own and that too wearing a dhoti!

Pearl shares, "This was my introduction scene and I wanted it to look real and believable. I managed to complete the sequence in one take and while rolling on the floor I could feel some sort of frenzy on the set but I did not pay attention and completed the shot quickly. It was soon after when the production guys came running towards me with a fire extinguisher and blanket that I realized that my dhoti had caught fire and the frenzy was to douse it."

When quizzed about his injury, he mentioned, "I came out unscathed with just a little skin irritation. It was a very satisfying feeling and honestly I was thrilled to have done my own stunt."

Now that's what we call an actor in the truest sense!
