Sharman Joshi reveals having nightmares of Prem Chopra before marrying his daughter
Like any other man, Rang De Basanti actor Sharman Joshi was also scared anticipating the reaction of his girlfriend’s father. The fact that his college sweetheart Prerana Chopra’s dad was senior actor Prem Chopra added to his nervousness. While talking at a podcast, Timeout With Ankit, the Dhol actor recalled the time when he first saw Prerana in college. “When I saw her for the first time, I asked my friend who is this girl sitting on the last bench?”
However, when his friend informed him that she was the daughter of the ace actor, Sharman lost all hope and went to the canteen. But despite that, both of them dated and ended up getting married in the year 2000. However, the Golmaal actor would have nightmares of Prem Chopra. He said, “I think Prerna was destined to have someone as wonderful as me in her life, she lucked out. She got married to me but mujhe Prem ji ke nightmares aate the (I used to have nightmares about Prem Ji).”

During the chat, the 3 Idiots actor further revealed that unlike what he had thought, his mother-in-law was harder to please than his father-in-law. “I was very worried about how her dad’s reaction would be but mom’s was more fierce than dad’s. He is a wonderful guy, he is a gentleman.”
In fact, he also had a heart-to-heart with Chopra. When the established actor had asked Joshi about his backup plan if he didn’t make it to the top of the industry, the Style actor told him that he would become a failed actor.
