Rajesh
Khanna,
India's
first
superstar,
was
Jaya
Bhaduri's
(now
Jaya
Bachchan)
very
good
friend.
Jaya
Bhaduri
was
madly
in
love
with
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Amitabh
was
a
struggling
actor
when
Jaya
said
yes
to
work
with
him
in
Zanjeer.
However,
Rajesh
Khanna
never
liked
it
and
stopped
Jaya
Bhaduri
from
meeting
Amitabh.
According
to
Rediff,
Rajesh
Khanna
told
Jaya,
"Kyun
tum
is
aadmi
ke
saath
ghumti
ho?
Tumhara
kuch
nahi
hoga,
this
fellow
cannot
be
a
hero
--
this
is
my
challenge." When
Amitabh
used
to
come
on
the
sets
of
Bawarchi
to
meet
Jaya,
Rajesh
Khanna
used
to
give
him
royal
ignore
and
Rajesh
used
to
insult
Amitabh
by
not
recognising
him.
It
has
been
said
that
after
Namak
Haram
got
released,
Rajesh
Khanna
got
very
scared
of
Amitabh
Bachchan's
success.
Just
to
prove
he
is
a
bigger
star
than
Amitabh,
he
made
Amitabh's
producers
to
sign
him
for
a
movie.
Jaya
Bachchan,
who
got
very
upset
with
Rajesh
Khanna's
behaviour
told
him
once,
"Ek
din
dekhna
yeh
kahan
hoga
aur
tum
kahan
hogey
(One
day,
you
will
see
where
he
will
be
and
where
you
will
be)."
