Rajesh Khanna used to hit THIS actress, touched her nose, people thought they were..., her name is...
Rajesh Khanna used to hit THIS actress, touched her nose, people thought they were..., her name is... There are numerous stories in Bollywood where reel relationships spark off-screen rumours. One such speculation that garnered traction in 90s involved Bollywood's evergreen on-screen pair, Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz. In a recent candid chat, Mumtaz opened up about her unique bond with Rajesh Khanna, and why people assumed that they were more than just co-stars. While talking to Radio Nasha, Mumtaz recalled her first meetup with superstar Rajesh Khanna, 'I didn't know him that time. I met him first time when I got to know that there is a hero Rajesh Khanna with whom I had to work. I said first ask him if he wants to work with me. That's how I got my first picture with him, Do Raaste. He has been very kind to me, we were very good friends.' She said. Mumtaz further talked about sharing a playful bond with him, which made people believe that they were in a relationship. The actress shared, 'When you do 15 films with a hero, then you develop a timing with each other. Kaka sirf mere saath hi aisa karta the (He used to do these things only with me). Sometimes he used to put something on my face, hit on my hips or touch his nose to mine during a song. So people thought, 'Dekh dekh chakkar chal raha hai, dekho kitne nazdeek hai. Jaisa Kaka ke saath Mumtaz chipakti hai naa vaisa kisiko bhi nahi chipakti. Kuch chakkar hai (There is something going on between them. The way she gets close with Kaka, she doesn't do it with any other hero).' All our films were hit, that's why they used to say 'they are having an affair'.' Since Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz shared a close bond, she was asked whether he was ever possessive about her. She stated that it's quite natural for any man to be possessive about their favourite woman. For the unversed, Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz collaborated in many memorable films including Do Raaste, Bandhan, Sachaa Jhutha, Dushmun, Aap Ki Kasam, and Roti. In 1970s, they were considered one of Bollywood's most loved on-screen pairs, and their wonderful chemistry evidently gave many box office hits.

Unhone bohut sharafat se, tameez se mujhe shaadi offer kari (He very decently and respectfully proposed marriage to me). He said, 'Moti Moti, I love you', and I said, 'No, I want to focus on work, I wanted to get somewhere'." She added, 'Bohut hi acche insaan the. Unke jaisa accha insaan aur director bohut kum hai. Unka beta Aditya bhi ab accha director hai. Par unone bohut izzat se mujhe shaadi offer ki thi, aisa nahi ki line maar rahe hai. Voh bohut shareef insaan the. Fir jab unhone shaadi ki, toh main unki shaadi mein bhi gayi. We were very, very good friends (He was a very good person. There are very few good people and directors like him. His son Aditya is also a good director now. But he had very respectfully proposed marriage to me—it wasn't like he was hitting on me. He was a very decent man. Later, when he got married, I even attended his wedding).' Mumtaz later married businessman Mayur Madhvani in 1974 and has two daughters with him.

Is Salman Khan moody or unpredictable on sets? Co-star Mukesh Rishi weighs in: ‘Over time, life changes…'
Seasoned actor Mukesh Rishi, renowned for his performances in films like Ghayal, Gardish, and Sarfarosh, recently reflected on his time working alongside some of Bollywood's biggest names. He recently shared warm recollections of collaborating with Salman Khan while also setting the record straight about widespread assumptions regarding the actor's demeanor. He said, "Over time, life changes, and people stop meeting, but Khan is often misunderstood." In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, veteran actor Mukesh Rishi spoke fondly about working with Salman Khan, mentioning that they had collaborated on two or three films. He described Salman as a warm and friendly person who often took the lead in creating a light-hearted and enjoyable environment after shoots. Reflecting on their time filming Bandhan in Bangalore, Rishi shared that post-pack-up plans would frequently include outings to restaurants or pubs. He also noted that they sometimes worked out together, highlighting the strong camaraderie they developed during their time on set. Addressing long-standing rumours about Khan being moody or unpredictable on set, Mukesh Rishi clarified that he never witnessed such behaviour during their time working together. He said there was never a moment that felt uncomfortable or off between them. While he acknowledged that, with time, life changes and people naturally drift apart, meeting less frequently, attending fewer gatherings, and no longer working together, he emphasized that any perception of Salman's moodiness was likely a misunderstanding. When asked if he had ever partied with Salman Khan, Mukesh Rishi responded with a laugh, confirming that they had indeed shared drinks together. The veteran actor also reflected on his experiences with other major Bollywood figures. Speaking about Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi mentioned that they had worked together on three to four films. He described their dynamic as one built on mutual respect, noting that while Bachchan wasn't particularly chatty on set, a strong professional rapport existed. He added that genuine affection and respect are never forced, they come naturally. Rishi characterized his relationship with Akshay Kumar as more reserved and strictly professional, saying their interactions were mostly confined to discussions about on-set happenings. On the other hand, he recalled Aamir Khan as someone with a more outgoing personality, joking that wherever a group was gathered, Aamir would somehow end up joining in.
