In an upcoming episode of ‘Indian Idol’, veteran star Asha Parekh reminisced about a funny incident from her shooting days with Rajesh Khanna and Vinod Khanna. She revealed how they shot from 7 AM to 2 PM for ‘Kati Patang’ and from 2 PM to 10 PM for ‘Aan Milo Sajna’. Due to the absence of mobile phones back then, they relied on landlines. The actors would take turns stepping out to check on things, leading to amusing situations.
Parekh humorously described how the two actors, Rajesh Khanna and Vinod Khanna, would receive calls from their girlfriends after 8 PM, causing some chaos on set. She shared that she would eagerly wait for them to return so the shot could finish, and she could finally leave for the day. The incident provided a light-hearted moment amidst their hectic shooting schedules.
‘Aan Milo Sajna’, the movie they were filming, was released on December 24, 1970. Directed by Mukul Dutt and produced by Jagdish Kumar, the film starred Rajesh Khanna, Asha Parekh, and Vinod Khanna in the lead roles. Supporting performances were delivered by Nirupa Roy, Rajendra Nath, and Aruna Irani, making it a memorable project for the actors involved.
