Raaj Kumar, a distinguished actor in Hindi cinema, was known for his flawless style. Raaj Kumar was a Bollywood actor who did not hold back when it came to speaking his mind.
He was the master of his own will, and he didn’t mince words when it came to speaking; he would say exactly what he felt without hesitation.
His bold style set him apart from the rest of the Bollywood actors, and many of his stories are being told in the industry today. We’re going to tell you about one such incident in Raaj Kumar’s life, when he provided such a surprising response to Salman Khan’s question in front of a large crowd!
Salman Khan’s blockbuster film ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ was released in 1989. Salman Khan became a superstar overnight as a result of this film, and everyone began to recognise him.
Because of this, the film’s producers, Sooraj Barjatya and his entire team, planned a success party for the film, to which all of Bollywood’s biggest stars were invited. Raaj Kumar, a Bollywood superstar, was also present at the event.
Sooraj Barjatya told Raaj Kumar that he intended to present him to the film’s leading cast when he arrived at the party.
Raaj Kumar was also excited to meet the cast of this smash hit flick. However, when Raaj Kumar met with Salman Khan, he was questioned, “Aap Kaun?”
Raaj Kumar was a superstar in that era, and everyone in the industry knew who he was. In such a case, Raaj Kumar was taken aback when he heard such a question from Salman Khan, and he retorted angrily, “Beta apne baap se puchh kar aao ki hum kaun hain.”
Salman Khan is alleged to have been drinking during the party and came to when he heard such things from Raaj Kumar. Salman Khan is believed to have promptly apologised to Raaj Kumar after this. Following this incident, Rajkumar left the party.
Few people realise that before entering the film industry, Raaj Kumar worked as a police officer in a Mumbai police station. During this period, he was approached by Baldev Dubey, a well-known Hindi film director, who invited him to work on a film.
Baldev Dubey liked Raaj Kumar’s speaking style so much that he hired him as an actor in his next film ‘Shahi Bazaar.’ Rajkumar has worked in a number of blockbusters, including ‘Dil Ek Mandir,’ ‘Neel Kamal,’ ‘Saudagar,’ ‘Kaajal,’ and ‘Hamraaz.’
In the Bollywood industry, his dialogue ‘Jaani’ is still well-known.
