• Waheeda recently opened up about a serious experience.
• She had with some fans who threw rocks at their train cabin.
• Waheeda described how Raj Kapoor turned as red as a tomato.

Waheeda Rehman, a seasoned actor, recently opened up about a serious experience she had with some fans who threw rocks at their train cabin after Raj Kapoor turned them down for a meeting. That took place while Raj and Waheeda were shooting a scene for their movie Teesri Kasam in a Madhya Pradesh town.

Waheeda described how Raj Kapoor turned as red as a tomato when these supporters went crazy and began storming their train while they were travelling back to Mumbai in the most recent episode of Arbaaz Khan’s chat show The Invincibles.

Basu Bhattacharya directed and Shailendra, the poet, produced Teesri Kasam. Raj and Waheeda co-starred for the first time in the movie, which was based on Phanishwarnath Renu’s novel Mare Gaye Gulfam. Although underwhelming at the box office, the movie won the National Award for Best Film.

Arbaaz questioned Waheeda about the event involving the fans who were students while they were discussing working with Raj Kapoor. The actor, 85, described it as “dangerous” and stated, “Woh sheher me bohot sare colleges the. Jis din hum ja rahe the, train se hi jaana aana tha uss waqt, ek compartment me Raj ji aur unke dost, ek me mai, meri sister aur meri hairdresser. Gari shuru hui phir ruk gayi. Parda khol ke hum jhaak rahe the toh bohot sare public jama ho gayi thi. Uske kisi ladke ne kaha, ‘Sir, hum aapko dekhna chahte hai, aapke log ne hume bohot tang kia. Abhi hum aapse milna chah rahe hai (That town had a lot of colleges. The day we were returning home on train, our train was stopped by a group of students who wanted to meet Raj and me. While I was with my sister and hairdresser in one compartment, Raj Kapoor and his friend were in another one. One boy said, ‘Sir, we want to meet you, your people have really troubled us. We want to mee you now.’).”

“Phir maine Raj ji ko bula ke bola ‘Jaane do Raj ji’. He said ‘Nahi, it’s not safe. Agar khich ke le ke chale gaye’. I said ‘Aise kaise khich ke le ke chale gaye’. Woh ladko ko itna gussa aya ki woh pathar phekne lage. Raj ke dost jo the unhone kaha ‘Waheeda ji Raj ke apne compartment me rakho. Kyuki he was getting wild. Ek toh gore toh the aur laal tamatar ke tarah ho gaye the. Hum dar gaye inko kuch heart fail nahi ho jaye, hum teeno ladies, koi inka hanth pakra hai, koi pair pakra hai…(I told Raj Kapoor to let it go but he refused them. They were so angry that they started pelting stones at the train compartment. Raj’s friend told us to go inside his compartment. Raj was as red as a tomato and we were scared about him. All three of us held his hands and legs to stop him).”

While Raj Kapoor met the fans, greeted them with namaste and even shook hands, he refused when they demanded to meet Waheeda Rehman.

The veteran actor went on to say that Raj Kapoor’s friend was ultimately responsible for gaining control of the situation by firing shots from his handgun into the air.

The supporters fled in fear. The crew of the movie was astounded to learn that the irate students had damaged not only their railway cabins but the entire train as well.
