In an exclusive podcast interview, veteran actor Tej Sapru opened up about a regrettable incident involving Hindi cinema legend Rajesh Khanna. On the set of one of their films in Kashmir, Sapru was unexpectedly abused by Khanna, who was with one of the film's actresses at the time. Despite the incident leaving him deeply hurt due to his immense respect for India's first superstar, Khanna later apologized and made amends. Sapru described Khanna as a man of contradictions, someone who could be arrogant during his stardom but also one of the most generous people he had ever known. Sapru clarified that this incident never affected their relationship and he continued to visit Khanna regularly even after the actor's career slowed down. He also noted that Khanna's arrogance may have contributed to his decline, especially when compared with contemporaries like Dharmendra and Jeetendra.
