When Rajesh Khanna Criticized Amitabh Bachchan For Wearing A Saree In Mere Angne Mein: ‘I Will Never...'

News 18  

In the 1970s, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan were fierce rivals. Amitabh, the rising superstar, gained fame as the ‘Angry Young Man’ through a string of successful films, while Rajesh, also known as Kaka, tried to maintain his status as the man with the Midas touch. During this period, Amitabh’s movie ‘Laawaris’ was released, featuring the popular song ‘Mere Angne Mein’, which became a fan favorite. The song ‘Mere Angne Mein’ showcased Amitabh dressed in a saree, dancing to his own voice. According to Yasser Usman’s book ‘Rajesh Khanna: The Untold Story of India’s First Superstar,’ Rajesh expressed in a 1982 film magazine, “I will never compromise on my dignity and don a saree and do a ‘Mere Angane Mein’ for all the money and all the applause in the world.” In 1981, ‘Laawaris,’ starring Bachchan and Zeenat Aman and directed by Prakash Mehra, became a major hit.
