We were going to Ahmedabad on a private flight. There was a function there which he had to attend. And I, being a Gujarati, was invited too. I was born a drama queen. He was sitting next to me. I told him…there will be a lot of crowd…will you hold my hand? He said, yes, of course. So, I said, “Forever”? (Laughs),” Kapadia once disclosed in an interview with FICCI FLO Jaipur Chapter in 2018.

In the movie produced by Shashi Kapoor, Rekha played a courtesan, Vasantasena, who meets a poor man named Charudatta (Shekhar) in Ujjain. Speaking on SCREEN Spotlight, Shekhar recalled how Rekha, despite being a huge star by then, made him feel very comfortable on set. Shekhar Suman on working with Rekha “She did it, right from the start. When there’s an actor who walks around with a paraphernalia and acts like, ‘Look at me, I’m a big star,’ that becomes a problem. They have so many people looking after them and expect you to just sit in the corner and watch all the stardom. But she was away from all that. She’d sit next to me and make me comfortable. So, even before I gave my shot, I was very, very comfortable,” recalled Shekhar. He also gives credit to director Girish Karnad, who was an actor himself. “He told me, ‘Look, you’re just …

‘Big stars don’t even look at supporting cast’: Rajesh Kumar exposes harsh ‘class system’ on Bollywood sets, calls lead stars ‘insecure’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Indian cinema has largely been star-driven from the beginning. It is only the presence of a star actor that often gets a film its budget, and the promotions are also done only around that star. But the success of that film is never dependent on that star alone, but on all the other supporting cast members who make the film a wholesome experience. While these things are acknowledged after the success of a film like Dhurandhar, but that’s not always the case. Rajesh Kumar, who is best known for Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, recently shared that there is an inherent class system on film sets where, on many occasions, the lead star does not even speak to the supporting cast members. In a recent chat shared on Aftab Puntoo’s YouTube channel, Rajesh said that if one visits the set of a big film, the conversations about a scene are limited to only 4-5 people. “If you go on a big set, only 4-5 people are discussing everything. Director, cinematographer, the main actors and the main writer. …
