Hema malini: Rajesh khanna thought i was arrogant while i thought that

Hema Malini and Rajesh Khanna have done
a lot of films together; the noteworthy ones
are Andaaz, Kudrat and others. Their
chemistry is amazing in all their films, so
when the actress spoke about something is
amiss' in her biography while talking about
the late actor, we were a little baffled. But it
seems Hema Malini could feel he was
dismissive of her in the initial days of
working together. Mid-Day published
excerpt from her recently launched book
where she elaborated on her strained
equations with Rajesh Khanna.
Hema Malini says, "I don't know what the
issue was but something was amiss with
Rajesh Khanna. He would behave strangely
with me in the initial days. No doubt he was
the reigning superstar and women would
adore him for his charm. But I didn't give
him any special bhaav as a co-actor. People
around him would often tell him false
stories about me. And the same set of
people would come to me and tell me
stories about him. Rajesh thought that I was
arrogant while I thought that he was too full
of himself. But eventually we broke the ice
when we started working together in back-
to-back movies. She also spoke about the
atmosphere on the sets of her films with
him because he was a huge superstar then.

But despite such a rocky start, Hema Malini
and Rajesh Khanna did 13 films together. In
fact, when he went to her with his film
Babu, she readily agreed to be his ladylove
in the film on the condition that he
increased a few scenes of her and add a
dance track. The superstar was elated. But
did you know she was doing all that
because of the same person who helped her
start talking with Sunny Deol. Yes, it was her
affection for Dimple which made her go out
of her way to help Rajesh Khanna. She talks
very fondly, perhaps, about her only friend
in B-town, "After Bobby, Dimple attained
that fantastic success and everybody said
that she was now in competition with me,
but I never felt that way. I just had a warm
feeling towards her, like one has for a kid
sister. Suddenly, I got to know she was
married so young and this kid was all
wrapped up in a big sari, with a jooda and
bangles covering her arms. Then she had a
baby soon after.
