The veteran actor's mediocrity comment on legend Rajesh Khanna has riled up the late actor's wife, DimpleKapadia. Here's what she said...
Naseeruddin Shah has made a lot from Bollywood frown at his recent take on changing cinema and veteran actor Rajesh Khanna. The actor, at an interview with Hindustan Times said, " "Nothing has changed in Bollywood. It is the same as it was 50 years ago. The photography and editing is better but the subjects are as puerile as they were in the 70's. In fact, it was the 70's when mediocrity came in Hindi films. That's when the actor called Rajesh Khanna joined the industry. For all his success, I think Mr Khanna was a very limited actor. In fact, he was a poor actor. Intellectually, he wasn't the most alert person I have ever met. His taste ruled the industry.The quality of script, acting, music and lyrics deteriorated. Colour came in. You could make a heroine wear a purple dress and hero a red shirt, go to Kashmir and make a movie. You didn't need a story. This trend continued and I certainly think Mr Khanna had something to do with it because he was God in those days."
Not too long ago, Naseeruddin Shah had this to say about Amitabh Bachchan: "He's extremely gifted, but he's a commodity. He's not an actor." Now, with his comments on Rajesh Khanna's "limited" and "poor" acting and his "mediocrity," he has Khanna's daughter Twinkle up in arms. She tweeted, "Sir, if you can't respect the living, respect the dead. Mediocrity is attacking a man who can't respond."
Her mother, Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna's wife chose to bear upon the matter by saying, "I just want to say that while I understand that everyone has the right to their own opinion, the man's career and legacy speak for him. I don't need to over-emphasise his accomplishments or what he has done for Hindi cinema. You know them, I know them, millions of his fans know them as well."
HIS APOLOGY
"I apologise to those who were personally offended. My intention was not to attack him but to talk about how a certain phase in history affected the course of Hindi cinema."
