Indian cinema has seen several superstars and their fandom, but nothing could match up to the craze of Rajesh Khanna. Bollywood's very own Kaka is known as the First Superstar of Bollywood, who has set a record that couldn't be beaten even by the Khans (Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir). Every artiste has a journey, and even the late Rajesh Khanna had seen many highs and lows in his life.
The iconic star started his career in 1966, and before becoming the dream man of millions of girls, Rajesh lacked the confidence to deliver a dialogue. It will be hard to believe that there was a phase in his life when he was terrified to say a line in front of the camera. As News18 reported, Director VK Sharma was shooting for his film, and his actor wasn't present on the sets of his film, leaving him tense.
While waiting for his actor, Sharma noticed a newcomer, with the hunger to prove himself. He was none other than Rajesh Khanna. Sharma asked Rajesh Khanna will he do a small role in his film.
Rajesh considered this opportunity as the one lucky roll of the dice. Khanna accepted the offer in no time. However, the role was of a darbaan (doorman, gatekeeper).
Rajesh was given his one-liner dialogue, "Ji sahib, huzoor ghar mein hai." However, when he received the line, Rajesh started getting nervous. Though Rajesh was waiting for such an opportunity he started sweating before the camera rolled.
During the final take, Rajesh was so nervous that he fumbled and twisted the whole dialogue. Rajesh sa.
