It was during the late ’60s and early ’70’s that Rajesh Khanna delivered superhit movies and was known to have cast a spell on all his fans across the country. In an interview with ANI, veteran actor, Raza shared that ‘Kaka’ was never punctual on the sets. The other actors on the sets had to wait as Rajesh used to come after 5 to 7 hours. Raza shared that sets used to get cancelled and everyone had to be mentally prepared that Rajesh would never be on time. Raza shared how ‘Kaka ‘was a big-hearted person and shared:
“Unka joh apna lifestyle tha, packup ke baad unke ghar mei roz dawat hoti thi. Bahut hi bada unka dil tha. He was a very big hearted man. Khilane, pilane mei, apne dosto ko bungalows gift kiye hai, gaadiyan giftr ki hai. Lekin yheh tha ki shamko mehfil hoti aur dost aate thei. Dost apni marzi se aate thei, jaate kakji ke marzi se thei. Aap ek baar aaye toh unki marzi se alvida keh sakte hai. Aur phir parties chalti thi, subah 5 baje dinner serve hota tha, phir 6 baje woh sote thei. 1-2 baje uthte thei, phir taiyar hoke 3-4 baje aa jate thei. Toh yeh silsila tha.”
