The bright light In Amitabh Bachchan’s prime, Raakhee Gulzar collaborated on more movies with him than any other starring lady. Now that she is fully retired, she only has kind words to say about one of her favourite on-screen partners. Is Amit truly eighty? How quickly the days pass! We were in Kashmir filming for Kabhi Kabhie, and it seems like only yesterday,” she explains.
Raakheeji recalls all of their films collectively. She says, “We worked on countless movies together. The first was Reshma Aur Shera by Sunil Dutt, and the final was Ek Rishta by Suneel Darshan. I bonded with him in a special way when we were filming. In Reshma Aur Shera by Sunil Dutt Saab, we played minor roles. I am aware of Amitabh’s playful side, which he keeps hidden from the public. He plays practical jokes, does a lot of masti, and is a pretty humorous man.
He and I met while we were both new to Reshma Aur Shera. Together, we had a terrific experience filming in Rajasthan. I was part of the awful trio along with the evil Ranjeet. In addition to hiding KN Singh’s beer bottles while he screamed expletives in the desert, the two used to frighten people while wearing monster masks. There was a bond between us during the shooting.”
