Raaj Kumar Sat In Water As Dilip Kumar Filmed For Saudagar: ‘Yahan Photo Kheenchne Koi Nahi Ayega'
Ravi Dewan recalls Raaj Kumar's strange Saudagar set behaviour – from sitting in cold water to pointedly ignoring Dilip Kumar's big scenes. When Saudagar hit the big screen in 1991, audiences were glued to the magnetic pairing of Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar. Off-screen, though, things were far from warm between the two legends – a tension that, according to veteran action director Ravi Dewan, sometimes spilled into quirky, calculated moments on set. Speaking on Sutradhar with Vineet Rai, Dewan recalled that Raaj Kumar often made unexpected moves during filming. One day, while Dilip Kumar was preparing for an intense death scene, Raaj had no shots scheduled. Yet, he placed his chair just eight feet away, facing in the opposite direction, seemingly ignoring the moment entirely. Everyone else's eyes were on Dilip – but not his co-star. The eccentric behaviour didn't stop there. At a hill-station shoot, the set attracted couples eager to take photos with the stars. While a crowd gathered around Dilip Kumar, Raaj quietly wandered off to a nearby waterfall. 'Raaj Kumar took a chair and sat in one foot of water at a nearby waterfall. After a long time, director Subhash Ghai approached him and asked why he was sitting there, as the water was cold. Raaj Kumar replied, 'Yahan photo kheenchne koi nahi aayega (No one will come here to take photos),'" Dewan recounted. Amrish Puri, another stalwart in Saudagar, was known for his towering villain roles, but Dewan described him as 'soft" in real life. Still, even Puri wasn't spared Raaj Kumar's relentless on-set habits. In one rope-pulling scene, Raaj insisted on multiple retakes – even after the first went smoothly. And during a punch sequence, Dewan said Raaj landed a blow hard enough to cause real discomfort. The roots of the Dilip–Raaj cold war went back decades. While filming Paigham (1959), Raaj allegedly slapped Dilip too hard in a scene. It was said to have sparked a vow from Dilip never to work with his contemporaries again. Yet, fate brought them back together for Saudagar, and despite their personal distance, the film went on to become a box-office success. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Bollywood forget this actress, Yash Chopra's heroine was abandoned by family, lived alone for 12 years, donated home to NGO before death, she was...
Sometimes in the world of glitz and glamour, some names get lost, only to be remembered after ages. There are so many actors and actresses who have given hit films but eventually vanished into thin air, leaving no traces. Today, we will discuss an actress whom Bollywood completely forgot. Despite this, Yash Chopra's actress has worked with names like Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, and more. Bollywood's Forgotten Actress This actress played Kajol's grandmother in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and the song Aye Meri Zohra Jabeen from the film Waqt was picturised on her. If it doesn't ring a bell, then let us tell you we are talking about none other than Achala Sachdev. Who Was Achala Sachdev? Born in 1920 in Peshawar, Pakistan, Achala Sachdev was an Indian actress who appeared in classic films of the Hindi-language film industry. She started her career as a child actress and later became known for mother and grandmother roles in Hindi films. Achala Sachdev's Last Days Were Painful For an actress who was loved by the audience for her roles, her last days were painful. She lived alone in her two-bedroom flat in Pune for over a decade, with just one attendant to look after her. Both her children were not in touch with her, and before her demise, she donated her house to an NGO. Like many stalwarts who contributed to the film industry for decades, she was also abandoned by the film industry.

Ravi Dewan on Raaj Kumar and Dilip Kumar's ‘cold war' on the sets of Saudagar: ‘Raaj kept looking in the opposite direction'
The 1991 film Saudagar featured two iconic Bollywood stars, Dilip Kumar and Raaj Kumar. While the film was widely discussed for its powerful star cast and songs, the real-life 'cold war' between its two leads also remains a talking point. In a recent interview, veteran action director Ravi Dewan revealed how Raaj Kumar would deliberately create trouble on set. In an episode of Sutradhar with Vineet Rai, Ravi Dewan was asked how Raaj Kumar and Dilip Kumar were on the sets of Saudagar. He recalled that Raaj Kumar often did many 'funny' things during filming. For instance, when Dilip Kumar was shooting a death scene, and Raaj had no shot scheduled, he placed his chair just eight feet away and kept looking in the opposite direction while everyone else was focused on watching Dilip prepare. Ravi Dewan also shared another incident from the shooting of Saudagar at a hill station, where many couples would visit the sets to meet the actors and take pictures with them. On one such occasion, while Dilip Kumar was surrounded by a huge crowd, Raaj Kumar did something rather unusual. 'Raaj Kumar took a chair and sat in one foot of water at a nearby waterfall. After a long time, director Subhash Ghai approached him and asked why he was sitting there, as the water was cold. Raaj Kumar replied, 'Yahan photo kheenchne koi nahi aayega (No one will come here to take photos),'' shared Ravi Dewan. Speaking about Amrish Puri, known for playing memorable villains in many films, Ravi Dewan highlighted his 'soft' nature off-screen. Recalling one scene, Dewan said it was planned for Amrish Puri's character to be tied to a rope and pulled. While the first take went smoothly, Raaj Kumar, being a senior actor on set, insisted on retaking the shot, and had it done multiple times. Ravi Dewan added that Raaj Kumar seemed to enjoy tormenting his co-stars on set. He recalled the shoot of a punch scene with Amrish Puri where Raaj would deliberately land a hard blow. For the unversed, the famous rivalry began when Raaj Kumar slapped Dilip Kumar too hard while filming a scene for Ramanand Sagar's 1959 film Paigham. The incident created a rift between the two actors, prompting Dilip Kumar to vow never to work with his contemporaries again. Despite their animosity, Raaj Kumar and Dilip Kumar went on to deliver powerful performances in Saudagar, which became a commercial success.
