Arshad Warsi Recalls His Mother's Final Night, Says, 'She Kept Asking For Water, I Kept Saying No..'

Arshad Warsi is a popular Bollywood actor, who is known for his strong screen presence in iconic films like Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, Jolly LLB 3, Salaam Namaste, Total Dhamaal and more. A while ago, he was loved for his cameo as the gangster, 'Ghafoor', in Aryan Khan's directorial debut series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Recently, the actor opened up about losing his mother and recalled an incident from his mother's final night. 

Arshad Warsi opened up about the guilt of not fulfilling his mother’s last demand

Recently, the Jolly LLB 3 actor, Arshad Warsi appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast and during a candid conversation, he opened up about his late mother. For those who don't know, Arshad Warsi lost his parents at the age of 14. During the podcast, the actor revealed that since he was in a boarding school, he doesn't have a lot of memories with his family. He shared:

"When it comes to my childhood, I remember more about my school than I do about my family because I went away to boarding school at the age of 8."

He then continued to talk about his mother. Arshad Warsi shared that the last day of his mother still haunts him to date. He stated that his mother had kidney failure and was on dialysis, because of which doctors had told not to give her water. The Golmaal actor recalled that just before passing away, his mother had asked for water, but he refused because of the doctor. He was quoted as saying:

"My mother was a simple housewife who cooked great food. She had kidney failure, and she was on dialysis. Doctors had told us not to give her any water and she kept asking for it. I kept saying no, and the night before she passed away, she called for me and again started asking for water. She passed away that night, and it killed me."

Arshad Warsi still carries the guilt of his mother’s death

Talking about the same incident, Arshad Warsi continued to mention that there is a part of him that thinks that if he would have given her water, then he would have regretted if she passed away after drinking it. He further stated that he was a kid back then, but if something like that happened today, his reaction would be different. In his words:

"There is also some part of myself that keeps telling me that if I had given her water and she had passed away after that, for my whole life I would think that she died because I gave her water. Now I think that I should have given her the water. I was a kid back then, and I wanted to listen to what the doctor had said. Today I can take that decision, and choose to live with my family instead of spending my last days in the hospital. We never think about the person who is sick, instead we take decisions based on our guilt."

Arshad Warsi’s work front

After his most recent film, Jolly LLB 3, alongside Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi is all set to appear in both web series and films. He will be seen in the web series, Bhagwat. And some of his upcoming films include Welcome To The Jungle and Dhamaal 4.
