'Enough about me': Dimple Kapadia's unexpected remark once left Saiyaara's Rajesh Kumar stunned
Rajesh Kumar recalls a 'beautiful moment' from a conversation he had with Dimple Kapadia. Rajesh Kumar was recently seen in Saiyaara playing the role of Aneet Padda's dad. He is popularly known as Rosesh Kumar from the TV sitcom, Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, which starred Ratna Pathak Shah and Rupali Ganguly. Recently, in an interview, the actor opened up about how there's a lack of conversation between an experienced and a successful person. He talked about how he made an effort to bond with his co-stars while filming Saiyaara to build an emotional bond that would reflect on the screen as well. During the same interview, he remembered a special and beautiful moment from his past, a conversation with Bollywood diva Dimple Kapadia. 'Enough about me — can I get to know you now?' That one line from Dimple Kapadia stayed with Rajesh Kumar long after the shoot wrapped. In a recent interview with Galatta India, the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai actor fondly recalled a beautiful moment he shared with the veteran actress while filming Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya in Jaisalmer. Rajesh revealed that while they were shooting in Jaisalmer, during a shift break, a few people were sitting around — Dimple Kapadia included. Everyone started talking about her films, her iconic songs, her performances — it was all about her. But then, Dimple Kapadia did something unexpected. After a few minutes, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, enough about me… can I get to know you all now?" That simple question changed the tone of the conversation completely. For Rajesh Kumar, that's when the real conversation started. According to him, the general notion is to shower praise on a successful person one meets and then move on, and the other person just politely expresses gratitude. He reflected on how rare it is to have genuine human interactions in the fast-paced world of film sets. He mentioned how actors spend 12 hours a day working together, but do not even know each other's stories. But his moment with Dimple Kapadia continues to remind him of how much actors miss out in their work environment if they are not making efforts to connect.

‘Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda would never be ‘nakchade' stars,' says their ‘Saiyaara' co-star Rajesh Kumar known for playing Rosesh from ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai': ‘He would apologise…'
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have turned into stars overnight as their film 'Saiyaara' hit the screens on Friday, July 18. In just five days, Mohit Suri 's directorial has pulled in over ₹132 crore at the Indian box office, with a staggering ₹24 crore and ₹25 crore collected on its first Monday and Tuesday respectively. The film is expected to cross Rs 150 crore on day 6 which is Wednesday. Not only are the newcomers holding their own, but they're also shaking up the box office performance of films headlined by veterans like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. What's equally surprising is the largely positive reception they've received—rare for star kids in the current social media climate, with very minimal trolling or criticism. Actor Rajesh Kumar , who plays Aneet's father in Saiyaara, recently opened up about his experience working with the two fresh faces. Speaking to Galatta, he revealed,'I told both Aneet and Ahaan that make me meet your parents. I just went and thanked them for bringing them up so well and that is what is reflecting on screen. They are not corrupted. Having said that, there is a long way for them to go.' For those not in the know, Rajesh is known for playing the iconic character of Rosesh from 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai'. Recalling the first day on set, Rajesh shared a touching memory about Ahaan's debut shot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo He said, 'Ahaan was so nervous before his first shot. We shot that together. The ones who have watched the film will remember the scene where he quietly hands me a bag. That was his first shot for the film. But, he did it so well in just the third take. After the shot ended, people clapped for him and then he felt relaxed.' Talking about Aneet, Rajesh recounted how her roots helped him with his role He said, 'When I was first introduced to Aneet, Mohit told me she will solve my Punjabi problem in case I want to stick to that language for that movie as we are Batras in it. And then till the time we were shooting together, she would speak to me in hardcore Punjabi. She asked me to call her 'puttu' in place of beta in the movie.' Rajesh also praised the new generation of actors for their level of preparation and professionalism. 'The new generation of actors are extremely groomed. They are pake hue, manjhe hue kalakaar. Barring a few, who might have not prepared as much. But the number of newcomers I have worked with are ready for the market, and Bollywood. I can tell you that these are the faces who are going to be relevant for the coming 25-30 years. Their ability to adapt things is exceptional. And these are the actors who have worked hard for success,' he said. He added that despite the massive success of Saiyaara, both Ahaan and Aneet will remain grounded. He said, 'If you look into Aneet's interviews, you will see that she is yet to believe that her film is working wonders. When people realise things late, success doesn't take over them. These people are so grounded that I don't think Aneet or Ahaan will ever be a 'nakchade' (snooty) stars. They will be sought after actors.' Opening up on the film's success, Rajesh credited the trust and dedication behind the scenes. He said, 'Mohit would wait until he got the shot he had visualised. Every time we took a shot for over four times, Ahaan would walk forward and apologise. He didn't have a 'give up' attitude. This film was all about trust. This film was all about YRF believing in Mohit Suri. And Mohit Suri believing in this new couple and the supporting cast. We never thought it would be a blockbuster.'
