An Interview with Bollywood Silver Jublee star Rajendra Kumar. Interview was beautifully conducted by Ms Sarita Sabarwal ji and videographed by myself . This is an unedited version, the interview was on air on a TV channel "ASIANET" in 1997. The interview was shot in between the shooting for a TV Drama/Film Rasm-o-riwaz shot in UK. The producer was Mr Gurcharan Gossal and I worked as dialogue writer, cameraman and Director. We were lucky enough to be with Mr Rajendra Kumar for four days - day and night. We travelled together in same car/texi/other means and lived those 4 memorable days to their fullest. I was very lucky to have lot of interaction with Mr Kumar and although he felt the schedule very tiring but always appreciated my work. I remember once we were filming a song with some tongue twisting words and the shot got stuck, we did about 10-15 takes but each time it did not work.. he suggested to stop the shooting for a short break... during this break I approached him and explained the meaning of those words... and went through the sequence... he gave an amazing take straight after the break.... then he asked me "where are you from", I said "Lucknow".. and he said (in Hindi) "Only people form Lucknow can have such good Hindi and Urdu", a big compliment for me and Lucknow.
