New Delhi: Actors and actresses had to work hard for the shooting of the film. Then they get name and fame. In such a situation, today we are telling you about a small anecdote related to the hard work done during the shooting of superstar Rajesh Khanna. In which he had to walk in the snow for several days carrying the actress on his shoulders. This was disclosed by the actress herself.
Actually, there was no other actress but Mumtaz who disclosed this. Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz were very good friends. The two were seen together in many films like ‘Prem Bandhan’, ‘Apna Desh’, ‘Sachcha Jhootha’, ‘Do Raaste’ and ‘Aap Ki Kasam’. Even in the last days of Rajesh Khanna, Mumtaz often used to visit him.
In an interview to Times of India, Mumtaz recalled Rajesh Khanna and told that I and Rajesh Khanna had done many films together till they got married and left the industry. Our jodi was also well received onscreen.
Mumtaz had told that she was not friendly with everyone. He used to talk to very few people and used to hang out with them. But he was always kind to me. Sometimes we used to give acting tips to each other.
Mumtaz had told that when we were shooting the climax of Manmohan Desai’s ‘Roti’, he had to carry me on his shoulder and walk in the snow. Every morning we would start shooting and he would tell me ‘Aye moti, chal aaja’. I too immediately jumped and climbed on his shoulder.
Mumtaz further said about this, “We did this for eight consecutive days and he had to carry me on his shoulder for eight days. I was not thin at that time and due to doing this for eight days, there were red marks on her shoulder. Seeing this, we used to laugh a lot together.
