Jaya Bachchan's Heated Row Over Amitabh Bachchan Remark
10 Feb
Summary
- Jaya Bachchan argued with Rajesh Khanna over remarks about Amitabh Bachchan.
- Master Raju recalled the incident during Bawarchi's filming in 1972.
- Rajesh Khanna's ego may have fueled his comments about Amitabh.
Master Raju, a former child actor, has shared a behind-the-scenes incident from Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 1972 film 'Bawarchi'. He recalled a significant argument between Jaya Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna that led to a halt in shooting.
The disagreement occurred because Rajesh Khanna allegedly made disparaging remarks about Amitabh Bachchan, who was then an upcoming actor. Jaya Bachchan vehemently defended Amitabh, according to Master Raju.
This exchange is seen by some as potentially stemming from Khanna's ego and insecurity as Amitabh's star power began to rise, influencing Bollywood's landscape in the early 1970s.
Master Raju also shared anecdotes about Rajesh Khanna's strong personality, including his equation with his son-in-law Akshay Kumar. He described Khanna's later years, noting a change in behavior and increased isolation as his career faced challenges, with alcohol becoming a more frequent presence.
