Aruna Irani recalls about Rishi Kapoor's mischievous nature during Bobby!

Aruna Irani is a well-known veteran actress who has made several remarkable appearances in the movie business. She recently recalled her time spent on Bobby with Rishi Kapoor, calling him a "mischievous child" on the set. Additionally, she related a touching story about Raj Kapoor, who genuinely cared for his cast by requesting a pack-up when she experienced a headache while filming.

 

Aruna Irani recalled Rishi Kapoor as a "mischievous child" during the Bobby movie's production in a recent media talk. She emphasized how Raj Kapoor handled Rishi as a fresh talent to mold for the part rather than treating him like his son on filming.

Thinking back on their partnerships, she stated, "I did quite a few films with Rishi Kapoor. He was a nice person. He was a mischievous child. As an actor, he was very cooperative with his directors and co-actors."

 

The seasoned actress recalled with affection a time when Raj Kapoor exhibited incredible empathy for his performers by calling off a shoot when one of them complained of a headache. She recounted an evening when she was feeling ill while she waited for lighting to be set up for a party scene.

Even though it was a costly sequence in which she was trying to court Rishi's character while wearing a green dress, Raj ordered for a pack-up as soon as he saw that she was uncomfortable. Raj insisted that they postpone, claiming that as an actor, he knew the value of well-being, even though she offered to resume filming after taking medication. She was deeply impacted by his compassion and care for his cast.

 

Aruna also recalled how Raj Kapoor treated Dimple Kapadia and his son Rishi Kapoor fairly while they were working together. Raj, she remembered, nurtured Rishi's potential rather than their familial ties, treating him like any other newcomer.

He was quick to congratulate them on their accomplishments but equally quick to raise his voice if they made a mistake. Aruna emphasized how fortunate one was to collaborate with a director who successfully struck a mix between support and discipline.

 

Classics like Bombay to Goa, Caravan, Raja Babu, Beta, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Dil To Pagal Hai, Fakira, Roti Kapada Aur Makaan, Bobby, Kudrat, Do Phool, Sargam, and Gopi Kishan are just a few of the films in her vast repertoire.
