Rajesh Khanna's heroine refused to play the role of Shah Rukh Khan's mother due to…, her name is…
Veteran actress Mumtaz has been the top actress of her time. Not only fans but even big heroes were crazy about her beauty. Her onscreen chemistry with Rajesh Khanna has been a hit. Recently, Mumtaz said that she will never play the role of Shah Rukh Khan's mother. She says that she has a rule that she will play the role of mother only to those actors who are at least 20 years younger than her. Shah Rukh will turn 60 this year, while Mumtaz is 77 years old. During an interview with Vicky Lalwani, Mumtaz was asked if Jaya Bachchan can play Shah Rukh Khan's mother, then why not her? To this, she said, 'That is Jaya's decision, but I will only play the role of a mother of an actor who is 20 years younger than me. And that, too, only if I look good on screen. I got married at a young age, and even today, my children do not look much younger than me. If I look good, then I can think of playing the role of a mother.' Referring to Jane Fonda in the film 'Mother-in-Law', Mumtaz said, 'I will do such a film in which my son's character will be played by a young hero. The mother's character in it was stylish. She is a millionaire. She used to degrade the simple girl whom her son loves. She says that I do not want to accept a poor girl. She was given the freedom to look and wear whatever she wanted. I will also work in such a film. If Shahrukh wants me to look the way I actually look, then tell him that I will work. But he will refuse. Why should I keep my hair white?' Shah Rukh Khan had told Mumtaz that he had his crush on Anupam Kher's show. To this, the veteran actress said, 'Maybe he said it jokingly. Will you (Shahrukh Khan) work with me if I look the way I actually look? Will you? He will say no, just wait and watch. He is a very intelligent guy, very smart, and a lovely person. He knows (what looks good on screen). Just because he likes me, it doesn't mean he will do anything.'

‘Won't play Shah Rukh Khan's mother in a film': Mumtaz has a rule about on-screen sons being at least 20 years younger than her
Veteran actor Mumtaz said that she has a rule about not playing mothers to actors who aren't at least 20 years younger than her. Although she has been retired from years, she said in a new interview that she won't even entertain the idea of playing a visibly older woman on screen. She cited Jane Fonda as somebody that she would like to emulate on screen, and said that she would be open to playing older women if they looked a certain way. She wouldn't, for instance, play a character with grey hair. In an interview with journalist Vickey Lalwani, she was asked why she wouldn't play SRK's mother if Jaya Bachchan can, and she said, 'That's Jaya's decision, but I'll only play a mom to an actor who is 20 years younger.' Shah Rukh will turn 60 this year; Mumtaz is 77. She continued, 'And that, too, provided I look good on screen. I got married at a young age, and my children don't look much younger than me to this day. I could consider playing mothers if I look nice.' Citing Jane Fonda in the film Mother-in-Law, she continued, 'I'll do a movie like that, where my son is played by a young hero. Her character was so stylish, wealthy, and she looked down upon the ordinary girl that her son falls in love with. She says, 'I don't want to accept a girl who is gareeb'. She was given the freedom to look how she wants and wear what she wants. I'll work in a film like that. If Shah Rukh wants me to look like I actually look, tell him I'll work. But he'll say no. Why should I have grey hair?' Recalling when Shah Rukh said that she was his first crush, she said, 'Perhaps he said that in jest.' Addressing Shah Rukh directly, she asked, 'Will you work with me if I look like I actually look? Will you?' She added, 'He'll say no, just you see. He's a very intelligent boy, very smart, and a lovely person. He knows (what looks good on screen). Just because he likes me, that doesn't mean he'd do anything.' Shah Rukh first spoke about having a crush on Mumtaz and Saira Bano over a decade ago. 'My first two crushes have been Mumtaz ji and Saira ji. Now I address them with a 'ji'. I always felt that they were the most beautiful ladies in the world. My father used to find Madhubala ji very beautiful,' Shah Rukh said at a press event in 2011.
