Rishi Kapoor has always been a no nonsense man. He's known for his direct talk and doesn't mince his words while speaking. When he decided to bare his life in a tell-all autobiography, he actually meant it.
The book which has been released now is titled 'Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored' and has Rishi making some candid but shocking revelations. Here are some of them...
Buying awards:
Rishi Kapoor admits to buying a popular magazine award for Bobby. He also mentioned that right after he got the award for his debut film, he felt extremely guilty about it. He even thought that this had upset Amitabh Bachchan who felt he deserved it for Zanjeer.
Raj Kapoor loved his ladies!
Rishi Kapoor ha begun writing the book, talking about his dad Raj Kapoor's affair with Nargis Dutt. He also mentions an incident from the pages of his dad's affair with Vyjayanthimala. He recalled how the veteran diva had claimed that his father had 'manufactured the romance because of his hunger for publicity'.
His fight with Javed Akhtar:
It's evident from the book that Rishi and Akhtar never got along well. He mentioned how once a drunk Javed saab boasted that he would quit writing if their next project didn't make more money than the blockbuster Bobby. He also writes that he didn't appreciate the arrogance of the writing duo.
His tryst with Rajesh Khanna!
Kapoor admits that he too played some nasty games while in the business. Rajesh Khanna who wanted to do a film with Raj Kapoor never got the opportunity, thanks to Chintuji. He has written that although his dad was wanting to cast Khanna in Satyam Shivam Sundaram, he sabotaged his chances and influenced his father not to cast him. The role went to Shashi Kapoor in the end. Incidentally, Rishi cast Khanna in his directorial venture Aa Ab Laut Chalein.
Tea with Dawood:
He is an unabashedly honest person. And that comes across when you read the pages where he has mentioned about having tea with Dawood Ibrahim, the dreaded underworld don who at one time threatened all filmmakers and actors in Bollywood. He wrote that Dawood and he met in Dubai.
