Rajesh Khanna was egoistic and full of himself. He was also bitterly jealous of Amitabh and ensured 'his favs' like Mumtaz and Sharmila did not work opposite Amitabh. He was bitter when Sharmila did some film later opposite Amitabh.
And even more livid with Shakti Samanta also working with Amitabh.
He married much younger, minor Dimple when he was 35 and she was 15 or 16. He was a drunkard. He took his frustration on Dimple and would beat her with belt in drunken fits. He stopped her from working in films and resented her working. I sometimes feel Dimple did those semi sleazy roles out of desperation to get work at any cost otherwise married actresses who were moms, hardly got work in films. He is said to have molested minor sister of another actress. He would share drinks with Twinkle and Twinkle boasts of drinking together with him as a minor.
His choice of films like Wafaa at old age showed what he was. Desperate. Pervert. Dimple was victim of domestic violence but never legally separated from him, perhaps due to property reasons. Rajesh once openly spoke in an interview ki Dimple divorce deti nahi hai.
I agree on Feroze. I mean one does not need an interview to know what his mindset towards women was. The way he showed women in his crap films showed his mentality. Sheer pervert.
His brother Sanjay Khan was another crap guy who got along with his wife, beat Zeenat so badly that it permanently damaged her eye. Imagine having affair with the woman and then acting holier than thou, teaming with wife to beat the woman you had affair with!
Govinda was known to be late at sets, have a thing for younger female co stars. He went after Rani too. He also slapped a fan in front of media few years ago. He has had public fallout with Krushna and ensured Krushna gets no work anywhere now. Really bitter and full of himself yet acts humble. I also read he is damn superstitious and wears lot of rings and does various totke and blames astrology or black magic for his issues.
I have read Nana Patekar, Naseeruddin Shah and Raaj Kumar had eccentric nature, temper issues, volatile nature and loose tongue and often said anything to anyone if they got impatient or disliked someone or something.
