Having done some of the most defining films of her career with the superstar, the iconic actress shares her personal experiences and insights about the legend in the audiobook ‘Rajesh Khanna: Ek Tanha Sitara’.
Remembering Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore spoke, ‘He (Rajesh Khanna)
probably didn’t have the attributes that are normally associated with a hero, what
he had was a disarming smile, youthful energy and an innate sense of drama and a
well-modulated voice which he used to his fullest advantage.’
She further recalled, ‘One thing that affected me the most about Kaka (Rajesh
Khanna) was him coming very late for the shoots. For a 9 am shift, Kaka never reached before 12 pm. That’s why I decided to work with other actors even after
knowing that our on-screen pairing was quite successful and loved by audiences.’
‘Rajesh Khanna was a man full of contradictions and complexities, I have seen him be very generous with his co actors, colleagues and friends…showering them with expensive gifts. Sometimes he even bought them a house but in return, it seems Kaka had great expectations off them, which eventually strained his relations,’ shares Sharmila Tagore.
The charismatic chemistry between Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna has
always been evergreen. They worked together for ten films. The nation witnessed
their remarkable bond in the movie Amar Prem.
Rajesh Khanna’s dialogue in this movie: “Pushpa mujhse yeh aasoon nahi dekhe jaate, I hate tears,” has become immortal.

Rani.
