Flashback Fridays: Why top heroes hated firebrand Moushumi? - Page 2

Ya .. PR is such a spoilsport .. they just cover up everything for these arrogant egoistic self-absorbed s**tty actors/actresses and present them as some saints.

Moushumi was always feisty and funny! She was cute in most of her movies

Shashi ji seems like a really nice co star, so much respect for him and Shammi ji (love these two Kapoors ❤️)

Loved what she said about Vinod Mehra saab, sad how he died :(

Once we were shooting for a film together, there was one more hero cast in the film, who would give me a rose everyday. Vinod would take that rose and throw it on the ground right in front of him. Vinod would say, He is a married man and he knows that you are also married, then what is he trying to prove?' Vinod, at times, would get angry with my husband and would tell him, Why did he bring me in this industry?' Vinod found me naive.

^after reading this, I have to say it this was nice of Vinod Khanna.

Thank you for sharing BTex, I loved reading it. I find Moushumi so beautiful! Rim Jhim Gire Sawan she looked so pretty! I'm surprised she wasn't asked about Mr Bachchan. Considering she's recently worked with him again in Piku.

She was indeed a firecracker... Thanks for posting this article, a relief from nowadays articles...

Dunno how much of this is true as I heard most of the flight time stories were made up or exaggerated... still posting this here...

"On one of our BOMBAY-DELHI-TOKYO flights, way back in the late 1970s, we had the affable and lovable Moushumi Chatterjee flying with us. She was accompanied by her quiet and unassuming husband Babu ( Jayanta Mukherjee ). They were traveling only from Bombay (Oops Mumbai) to Delhi, and for some unknown reason they were in the economy class.

Soon after take-off, Moushumi's husband Babu came to the galley and asked a hostess for a drink-a Bloody Mary. Now, there was a government regulation in force those days, under which liquor was not allowed to be sold or served to pax traveling only on domestic sectors i.e. between stations within the country. So the hostess had no choice but to politely refuse him the drink.

Within a minute, Moushumi walked up to me, and with a lovely smile made a request, "Please give one drink to Babu no, she is very thirsty." She inadvertently changed her poor husband's gender and I didn't have the heart to correct a small grammatical error by such a pretty and glamorous celebrity. I immediately agreed "Okay, I will serve him the drink, though unofficially, but you will have to pay for it in dollars."

She slid a little closer towards me, looking directly into my eyes, and with a childlike innocence said "We don't have any dollars", finishing off her request with a grin. I decided to pay for the drink from my own pocket, which I thought was a very small price to pay for the lascivious looks aimed at me by the beautiful lady. Babu accepted the drink with a humble and grateful smile, Moushumi returned to her seat, and we returned to our work.

After a short while I went to the first class area to collect some important paperwork pertaining to the diet details of economy pax. As I was walking back to the galley, somewhere halfway in the narrow aisle of the 'C' zone, I almost collided into a stationary Moushumi. She was standing plop in my path, blocking my way! I said "Excuse me! I need to go to my galley." She smiled at me, and with a mischievous glint in her eyes, she said teasingly "What if I don't let you go?" Then, holding my shoulder with her palm she added "Can you manage just one more drink for Babu? Please!"I was almost tempted to ask her, 'Is she still thirsty?' But I refrained from doing so, and being totally floored by her flirtatious advances, I agreed to send one more 'free drink' to Babu.

She spent most of her time in the galley chatting with us, in fact once when I was bending to cut open a bar seal, she suddenly called out "Manu , do you like this job ?" I was surprised; I said "How did you know my name?"

"I asked him!" She said pointing to a very feminine looking air-hostess who was standing nearby. The poor girl was too embarrassed to react. I somehow suppressed my desire to laugh at her constant changing of gender. Moushumi then came close to me, caught my hand, entwined all her fingers into mine, and whispered sexily into my ear, "Manu do me one more favor na, give 'Babu' another drink no!" All this flirtatious behavior and the close proximity of her body to mine, was making me weak in the knees. To say that I wasn't enjoying her amorous teasing would be a white lie! But I had a job to do, so i told her "I am sorry, after this drink I will be unable to serve you anymore drinks as I have to close and seal the bar before we land.

She flashed a beaming smile again, and squeezing my hand she said, "Why don't you come and meet me when you are in Bombay, here's my phone number." She handed me a piece of paper and quickly added, "And when you call up, if my servant picks up the phone, ask for 'INDU', because that is my real name. Only then he will call me."

I don't know why, but I had a somewhat uncanny feeling that Moushumi's servant was a female!

I am from south and Garu does not mean sir. Garu is same like "ji " in Hindi. Whether Garu or amma it emotes same level of respect. Looks like moushumi likes to exaggerate too.
