Guddan - Tumse Na Ho Paayega actor Nishant Malkani who plays AJ (Akshat Jindal) on the television show recently shot for a bare-bodied scene with fire in his hands. As prep, he went without salt and water for two days.

Now, the telly actor is shooting for a scene in which he needs to box a punching bag. Malkani wanted the scene to look real and practised several times before the scene was shot.

He says, "I got carried away and ended up tearing the skin on my knuckles, which resulted in bleeding. The scene was supposed to be fake but I ended up getting bruised."

Malkani adds that he always wants to get into the skin of the character.
