During this, Raj Kapoor had given in an interview about this film. In which he had said that ‘You take a stone, that stone remains a stone as long as there is no religious mark on it, otherwise it becomes God. Just like this you hear a voice and become crazy about it, but later it turns out that it is the voice of an ugly girl. On saying this, Raj Kapoor stopped and asked him to remove this word from the interview. Lata will not feel good knowing this.
Begged a lot but she didn’t listen
