Rishi Kapoor's death anniversary: Read his 5 most honest confessions here!
On late legend Rishi Kapoor's death anniversary on April 30, check out a series of unheard confessions from his autobiography 'Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored'.
Rishi Kapoor was quite blunt and spoke his mind without any inhibition.
Rajesh Khanna and Raj Kapoor
About his next-door neighbour Gulzar
His tiff with writing duo Salim-Javed
Rishi Kapoor didn't appreciate the 'arrogance' of the writing duo Salim-Javed. One of the funniest anecdotes in the book is when Kapoor and his friends visit Akhtar's apartment in Bandstand to tease him over the failure of Imaan Dharam; or when a drunk Akhtar boasted to Kapoor that he'd quit writing if their next project didn't make more money than Bobby. Rishi Kapoor hasn't forgiven Akhtar entirely after the latter stated in a TV show that Raj Kapoor was to be blamed for lyricist Shailendra's untimely death.
About Amitabh Bachchan
Rishi Kapoor wrote that Bachchan has never given due credit to the actors who have worked with him for the success of his films even if they were playing secondary roles, he writes, naming Shashi Kapoor (Deewar), Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha, Dharmendra and his own (AAA and Coolie).
Rishi Kapoor wrote writers-directors were partial towards Amitabh Bachchan. His & Bachchan relationship didn't start off on the best of notes. They hardly spoke on the sets of Kabhi Kabhie. They became comfortable with each other's company during Amar Akbar Anthony.
