Many of his co-stars have spoken up about Kaka, as he was affectionately known, and his laid-back schedule. Late actor Rajesh Khanna was notorious for being late. Veteran actor Raza Murad stated in a recent interview that one had to be mentally ready for Rajesh to be late because of his habit of partying until daybreak every day.However, Raza went on to say that Kaka was a giving man because he frequently gave to his friends. He revealed that the celebrity even gave his pals automobiles and bungalows as gifts.
“You had to be mentally prepared that he will not come on time,” Raza Murad told ANI. He had a generous heart, but his lifestyle was such that every day after pack up, there would be a party at his house. In terms of how he treated his friends, he was a really generous man. He has given his pals automobiles and bungalows as gifts.
Raza revealed that Rajesh hosted a party at his house every day after work, and he would not let his friends go until he was finished for the day. His pals would attend the “mehfil,” which was held at his residence every day. The friends were free to arrive whenever they wanted, but they could only depart when he did. All night long, parties would take place. At 5 a.m., dinner was served. He said that he went to bed around 6 am, woke up between 1 and 2 pm, and then arrived on set between 3 and 4 pm.
On set, Rajesh Khanna was infamous for creating delays. “People were very fond of him because he was a very nice actor, but there was something about him that some people did not like,” Prem Chopra said in a previous interview with Bollywood Bubble. If he had a 9 am shift, he would arrive between 12 and 12:30 pm. He went on to explain, “Everyone would be prepared, and when he was not there, they would say, ‘Look, everyone is ready and waiting for him.'” But when he did show up, they would say, ‘Come, sir. Should we start after lunch?'” He would say, “Let us get started right away.”
“Mujh par kaka (Rajesh Khanna) ki jo baat asar karti thi, vo thi unke kaam par der pahuchne ki aadat,” Sharmila added, sharing the audio book Rajesh Khanna: Ek Tanha Sitara. Kaka kabhi bhi 12 baje se pehle nahi pahuchte the kyunki 9 baje ki shift ke liye. Bawajood iske ki humari jodi bohot safal hui thi, or iss liye maine anya abhinetaon ke saath kaam karne ka faisla kiya. Kaka’s tardiness was one of the things about him that most bothered me. Kaka was never on the clock before 12 pm for a 9 am shift. And for that reason, even though I was aware of how good our coupling was, I chose to collaborate with other performers.)
