The veteran actress recalled, “Basically he was an introvert, he would not talk much (on sets). He was absolutely (introvert). He would sit in a corner, zyada baat nahi karni.” Asha Parekh continued, “Aur, shayad (maybe) jab Baharon Ke Sapne bani thi to wo unki dusri picture thi. I was already a star and main Baharon Ke Sapne karne wali bhi nahi thi, Nanda heroine thi lekin unhone kaha nahi karna kyuki wo glamourous role nahi tha.”
She also said, “Then, Nasir Hussain came to me and urged me to work on the film. I asked him to adjust the dates according to my availability, and he agreed. And because of that, there were several times when the dates (of Baharon ke Sapne) had to be shifted back and forth, and a few incidents occurred with Rajesh Khanna. Tabse maine kaha (Since then, I thought) …. He was basically introverted, aur unko shayad inferiority complex bhi tha shayad us waqt.”
Asha Parekh added, “He had a little bit of an inferiority complex, but once he became a superstar, all that changed.” In addition, she and Rajesh Khanna worked together in Kati Patang and Aan Milo Sajna.
