When
Raj
Kapoor
Saw
Krishna
Raj
For
The
First
Time..
"His
‘woman
in
white'
fascination
can
be
traced
to
my
mother.
He
had
gone
to
see
her
as
a
prospective
bride
along
with
Premnath
uncle
(the
late
actor
was
Krishna's
brother).
There
from
the
window
he
saw
a
young
girl
in
a
white
saree
with
mogras
in
her
hair,
playing
the
sitar."
Krishna
Raj
Reminded
Raj
Kapoor
Of
Goddess
Saraswati
"That
was
my
mother
Krishna
taking
music
lessons.
Being
an
artiste,
he
reacted
to
the
visual.
He
was
reminded
of
Goddess
Saraswati.
The
image
of
the
‘lady
in
white'
stayed
in
his
mind
and
was
later
seen
in
his
films.
My
mother
always
wore
white
and
had
a
flower
in
her
hair."
Raj
Kapoor
Loved
Krishna
Raj
Deeply
"No
matter
what
was
said
and
written,
Papa
loved
mother
deeply.
The
truth
is
that
all
life
he
remained
obsessed
with
her.
He
may
not
have
expressed
it
to
her
the
way
she'd
have
liked
him
to.
She
may
not
have
been
a
big
part
of
his
life."
‘His
Love
For
Mom
Was
Immense’
"But
whatever
Raj
Kapoor
did,
he
came
back
home.
His
love
for
her
was
immense.
He'd
even
press
her
legs
and
joke,
"Raj
Kapoor
ka
kya
haal
bana
diya!
Meri
biwi
mujhe
pair
dabane
lagaa
rahi
hai.
Ghar
ki
murgi
dal
barabar!"
He
loved
celebrating
New
Years
because
it
also
happened
to
be
mom's
birthday."
