The two actors worked together in several popular Hindi films, including Anurag, Prem Bandhan, and Bhola Bhala. In her recent interview, Moushumi spoke openly about Rajesh Khanna's popularity, his behavior, and many aspects of his personal life. So, let's delve into the details.
'He was like a spoiled child'
Moushumi Chatterjee explained that Rajesh Khanna's stardom was at its peak during that era, and his popularity reflected his temperament. She said, "He was like a spoiled child. Success always went to his head." According to the actress, at that time, the top actor in the film industry felt that his every word should be obeyed. She added that this wasn't limited to Rajesh Khanna, but rather, this attitude was evident in many major stars of the era.
"The audience was absolutely ecstatic about him."
It's worth noting that many actors, directors, and people associated with the film industry have previously spoken about Rajesh Khanna, saying that he often arrived late to shooting sets and that his tantrums often troubled producers and directors. Moushumi Chatterjee's experience was similar. However, she also acknowledged Rajesh Khanna's extraordinary popularity and the audience's fervor for him.
'This is the result of all actions'
During the conversation, Moushumi was also asked about the period in Rajesh Khanna's life when his stardom was slowly waning and Amitabh Bachchan's era was beginning. It is believed that this was the time when Rajesh Khanna was overcome with loneliness and despair. Responding to this, Moushumi said, "It's all the result of one's actions."
“Everyone goes through this phase in life.”
She further stated that the way a person lives their life and manages relationships impacts their lives. Moushumi said, "If everyone is alone, you should learn to enjoy your solitude. Don't feel lonely. I enjoy being alone. Everyone goes through this phase in life." Citing examples, she said that legendary artists like Kishore Kumar and Madhubala also experienced loneliness and struggles. According to her, everything that happens in life is part of a person's journey and should be accepted as such.
Controversial story also mentioned
Moushumi Chatterjee also recounted an old controversial incident involving Rajesh Khanna. She revealed that Khanna once made an inappropriate comment about her daughter's father. According to the actress, he asked whether her daughter's father was her husband Jayant Mukherjee or actor Vinod Mehra.
'Is she Rishi Kapoor's daughter or yours?'
Moushumi said that such comments made her extremely uncomfortable. She alleged that Rajesh Khanna often used "dirty tricks." However, she also revealed that she had visited the actor during his final days. During that time, Rajesh Khanna, while praising her in front of his daughter, had said that Moushumi did not tolerate any nonsense and always gave a befitting reply. The actress also revealed that she had responded to Rajesh Khanna's comment in the same manner. She had said in a joking but sharp tone, "Is she Rishi Kapoor's daughter or yours?" Hearing this, Rajesh Khanna remained silent for a few moments.
