When Sharmila Tagore felt relieved about doing less films with Rajesh Khanna: ‘He never arrived for shift before 12 o’clock’ Hindi Movie News – The Times of India

Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna formed one of the most famous on-screen pairs of Hindi cinema. This is’Aradhana,Immortal love‘ Or ‘Stain‘, And many more, Sharmila and Rajesh have done many films together. Since she was a hit pair, they were often inserted together, but then a point came where they began to reduce their on-screen outings. Tagore talked about it after Khanna’s death.
It was in 2022, when Tagore opened about working with him in AudioBook, ‘Rajesh Khanna: A lonely star’. She said that she was actually a timely restriction of her innings as she wanted to spend time with her family. But this was not possible when she was working with Rajesh Khanna. Sharmila said, “It was impossible for her because Kaka never arrived before 12 o’clock. And we could never finish on time. As a result, the entire unit would press on me to work and complete the schedule. It would become ideal, and since I had many films with Kaka, I found myself in a quarter.”
He also said, “The risk of being stale. Whatever was, we found ourselves working together in less films. And I should accept that it was a big relief.”
Apart from Sharmila, many other co-stars of Khanna have also talked about their habit of turning late on the set. In fact, it was for the reason that the actor did not work again with Yash Chopra and it was reported that Chopra changed Khanna with Amitabh Bachchan later in many of his films.
Rajesh Khanna died in 2012.
