When a movie made Raj Kapoor nervous: This story is about when Raj Kapoor along with his wife Krishna came to an award for the movie “Do Bigha Zamin” by Dada Bimal Roy. The movie started and during this time Raj Kapoor became restless. His eyes widened and after the end of the movie, he returned home to his wife, keeping his eyes silent. He has been silent all the way. Wife Krishna understood that she might not have liked the movie, but even after she got home, the uneasiness did not go away. He couldn’t sleep at night, he kept switching sides. It was the same in the morning.
He said this while crying to the wife: When Krishna Kapoor saw Raj Kapoor so upset, he tried to find out why. He asked Raj Saheb why you are so upset. In response to Krishna, Raj Kapoor’s eyes filled with tears and the actor said, “Krishna, what kind of movies am I doing? Movies that dance around the heroine. Real cinema is what I saw yesterday, I feel like I’ve wasted my time. I won’t get relief until I make movies like this. Which gives a new direction to society, which can reveal the reality of society.
The actors did not sleep in bed: It is said of Raj Kapoor that the actor never slept in bed. He liked to sleep on the floor. Even if he stayed in a hotel, he also slept on the hotel floor. For this he was once warned by the hotel manager, and he was forbidden to do so. When he did not agree, he was also fined by the hotel manager, and due to this habit, he continued to pay the fine for five days.
