‘Not a single fan approached Rajesh Khanna at the airport after his downfall': Actor Nausheen recalls witnessing tragic sight
Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini were among the most popular stars in Hindi cinema in the 1970s. The veterans even starred in many films together, including Prem Nagar (1974) and Kudrat (1981). In a recent interview, actor Nausheen Ali Sardar, recalled spotting them at the airport, after they had started fading from the minds of audiences. She also opened up about not letting fame get to her head, which is a lesson she learned after that day. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Nausheen mentioned that not everyone can handle success well. 'I saw this in many people while growing up, that not everybody can handle success and being unsuccessful. Because I saw it at such a young age, it didn't affect me,' she said. Recalling an anecdote from the early days, she revealed, 'I was at the airport, and a big Indian male and a female superstar were there. I remember when people used to say things like, 'His car used to become red with kisses' and 'She was the queen of the film industry'. But, not even one single person went to them for an autograph.' ALSO READ | Rajesh Khanna would get 'aggressive' after a few drinks, used to vent out his anger on alleged girlfriend Anita Advani: 'I used to run to my sister's place' The host instantly asked if it was Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini. Nausheen said yes, and added, 'Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini, yes. They both were at the airport. I was so shocked. This is how fans are? Aaj sooraj ugg raaha hai toh aapko salaam karte hain aur kal nahi toh aapko bhool jaate hain?' Reflecting on how the entertainment industry works — where fans adore you at your peak but drift away after a flop — Nausheen shared, 'That moment got etched in my memory. I was around 15-16 years old. I decided that even if I become famous, I'll not let it get to my head, because it's there today, but maybe it won't be there tomorrow. It might come back, or might not. So, you have to be strong enough to hold it.' Nausheen Ali Sardar is known for the TV shows Kkusum, Ana, Sinndoor Tere Naam Ka, Meri Doli Tere Angana, Kuchh Is Tara, Gangaa, and Barsatein Mausam Pyaar Ka.
