Moushumi Chatterjee Recalls Rajesh Khanna's 'Nasty' Remark: 'I Never Cared If You're A Superhero'
Last Updated:
Moushumi and Rajesh Khanna shared the screen in many notable films such as Prem Bandhan, Anuraag, Vijay, Ghar Parivaar, and Humshakal.
Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee didn't mince words while recalling a shocking comment once made by late superstar Rajesh Khanna. In a recent interview, she revisited a moment from the past when Khanna made a 'nasty" remark implying her daughter might not be her husband Jayanta Mukherjee's child but Vinod Mehra's. Moushumi's sharp and fearless retort left him stunned.
Speaking to Nayandeep Rakshit, the actress revealed that many underestimated her ability to stand up for herself. '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.
Moushumi reflected on the pattern of men making such remarks under the garb of humour. '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 said.
She added that for her, every human deserves equal respect regardless of status. 'If you are super, even while working as a spot boy, salute from me," she stated.
Despite the incident, Moushumi continued to work with Khanna in several films. '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," she recalled.
In a separate appearance on Lehren Retro, Chatterjee revealed her fiery comeback to Khanna's taunt. 'Yes, I gave him back. I asked him, 'Is it Rishi Kapoor's child or yours?'" she said, referencing Khanna's children with Dimple Kapadia. According to her, the response left him completely speechless.
