Moushumi Chatterjee recalls Rajesh Khanna's 'nasty' remark about her daughter: 'I never cared if you are a superhero or...'
Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee, who is known for speaking her heart out and never mincing her words, recently recalled Rajesh Khanna's 'nasty remark' about her daughter. The superstar made a 'nasty' remark that her daughter might be Vinod Mehra's child and not her husband Jayanta Mukherjee's.
However, her sharp response stunned the yesteryear superstar. 'People used to get angry because I was never bothered so much. They used to be like, chalo time mila toh isko cheddte hain, so I used to give it back," she shared while talking to Nayandeep Rakshit.

'He thought that is fun. A lot of people who pass nasty remarks don't realise that they are actually showing what they are. You come from that surrounding. Nobody thought I can give it back. I was always like that. I never cared if you are a superhero or super heroine or anything like that," she shared.
Sharing that every human deserves equal respect irrespective of their status, Moushumi shared, 'If you are super, even while working as a spot boy, salute from me."
Despite this incident, Moushumi continued to work with Khanna. 'I did movies with him after that as well. It was never awkward between me and him. Raat gayi, baat gayi. He also distanced himself, thinking she wasn't an easy nut to crack," the actress stated.
While talking to Lehren Retro, the actress gave Khanna an epic comeback and taunted him. 'Yes, I gave him back. I asked him, 'Is it Rishi Kapoor's child or yours?'" she said referencing his child with Dimple Kapadia.
Rajesh Khanna and Moushumi Chatterjee worked together in films like Prem Bandhan, Anuraag, Vijay, Ghar Parivaar, and Humshakal.
Moushumi's 2015 film Piku costarring Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone was recently re-released in cinema halls. The film is directed by Shoojit Sircar.

Vijay's TVK Invokes CN Annadurai, MG Ramachandran Ahead Of Party's Madurai Meet
Chennai: As Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) gears up for its state conference in Madurai on August 21, the party is making a pointed political statement by invoking the legacies of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) founder CN Annadurai and AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) founder MG Ramachandran. The conference venue is adorned with a cutout of Annadurai and MGR placed alongside party chief Vijay, underscoring TVK's attempt to align its political journey with Tamil Nadu's two most decisive electoral moments. The official tagline reads, "The historic victories of 1967 and 1977 will return in 2026" and "Your Vijay is coming, Tamil Nadu in victory rally." By referencing 1967, when Annadurai ended the Congress's dominance, and 1977, when MGR's AIADMK swept to power, TVK is projecting Vijay as the next mass leader capable of reshaping the state's political landscape. Party insiders say that just as MGR's dominance kept the DMK out of power until his death, TVK could emerge as the disruptive force in 2026. Vijay, one of Tamil cinema's biggest stars, has taken the political plunge at the peak of his film career, a move that distinguishes him from other actors who ventured into politics only at the twilight of their stardom. Iconic Sivaji Ganesan, Vijayakanth, Sarathkumar and Kamal Haasan for instance, made their debuts when their screen careers were fading, and despite significant popularity, failed to reach the Chief Minister's chair. Superstar Rajinikanth, after years of anticipation, ultimately opted out of politics altogether. Since launching his party earlier this year, Vijay has declared the DMK as his political enemy and the BJP as his ideological enemy, ruling out both direct and indirect ties with the saffron party, effectively shutting the door on an alliance with the AIADMK. While Vijay has promised to share power if TVK secures victory in 2026, no major party has so far joined his alliance, leaving TVK to chart a largely solo path. The Madurai conference, seen as TVK's biggest show of strength yet, is also expected to serve as a launchpad for Vijay's statewide tour to meet people directly.

He criticized Vijay for leading the Collective Artists Network while supporting an AI-generated film. Anurag wrote, 'Congratulations @vijaysubramaniam84. Here is the man heading the @lifeatcollectiveartistsnetwork that represents artists, writer, directors, now producing a film made by AI. So much for looking after and representing the interests of creators. ' Accusations of profit-driven agencies He accused agencies of being solely driven by profit, stating, 'End of the day, all these agencies are only interested in making money off you and since they choose turkeys after turkeys for you and you're not making enough for them, they are going all AI. Any actor or anyone who calls themselves artists and has a spine will be and should be either questioning him or leaving the agency since he has proved that he thinks you're no match for his AI performance. ' Harsh criticism and condemnation Kashyap expressed harsh criticism towards Vijay, saying he 'should be in the gutter,' and condemned this as the path embraced by the 'spineless' in Bollywood. He concluded his statement with, 'This right here is the future for the spineless and cowardly so called artists in the Hindi Film industry. Well done Vijay Subramaniam. Shame is not enough on you. You should be in the gutter.'
