Your london, Home in Uganda, Kenya, New York, how it feels to be a global citizen

(Laughs) All I know is that I am a British citizen. But this is very difficult. Maintaining all these houses is not an easy task. Did not become like this.

What was the best time of your life in 73 years?

Best days of my struggle. It was the best time of my life to be involved in films for that time.

When you with Dara Singh 16 action movies then?

Every film is a memory. It has been great to fight with. The more difficult it is, the more it is appreciated. Those were the most beautiful days of my life. Time from 13 to 26 years. Then I got married and left the industry. Now I have a different life. And I am still proud of those days.

Remember your rival Sharmila Tagore?

No, there was no opponent. If I didn’t do a picture, she would go to him. Most of my films that I had not done went to him. But there was nothing between us. I never realized that there was such a thing between us. Have you ever heard

How did you feel when someone else got an offer?

If any other woman could do a role like me, the producers would go to them. Many times it happens that you want to roll someone but due to the price (fee) you have to leave. If someone adopts a lower price then there is a little feeling. This must have happened to me twice. At that time I was very strict about my price. I used to take 8 lakh rupees. Which was very much. He was heartbroken because he had gone one and a half million.

Hema Malini and Sharmila Tagore still show– Part of the sale, would you like to return too?

See, I never said that I never go back to the industry or I like to go. I don’t have time to go back. I am busy and engaged in my family. When I need money, I will go back and say, Salam, ‘I want work, give me work’. There is no reason yet that I should return. Although I am proud to be a part of the industry.

Which film will you select in your best performance?

This is a very difficult question. How can someone tell what performance people like. I did such a good job in Tere Mere Sapne, 1971 but got the award in ‘Toy’. I think my acting was better in ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ than ‘Toy’. Many people still say ‘Bindiya Chamkegi’ is your best performance. It is for everyone to see, either the stars will be on hail or on the floor.

How important is lies to stay in the industry?

I will say that it is better to lie down and sit with your mouth closed. You will be a winner Keep quiet when you don’t have to comment. There is a lot of confusion by speaking later.

Which actress looks good these days?

All the girls of today wear nice clothes. Shilpa Shetty wears good clothes, looks good. Sonam, Kareena and Kangana also look good. Katrina Kaif, the girl who has come from London, looks very good and elegant. Nowadays, time has changed. There was nothing in our era. There was not even a van to sit on.

Do you regret not getting the facility?

No, I have no regrets in life. I am just telling you the difference. When singing Jai Jai Shiv Shankar (Aap Ki Kasam, 1974), if you had to go to the toilet, you had to go 10 kilometers. There was nothing in those days. We did not get anything, the youngsters of today are very lucky.

Fardeen (son-in-law) has not done films for many days, will you blame politics for thisThe

No, it is not so in our film line. If even today, Fardeen will maintain his figure and start looking good then he will get offers. Producers will take him but for that he will have to lose weight and look fit. If you manage yourself, keep yourself well then you get work. I don’t think there is politics here. You have to look perfect because their crores of rupees are invested in it. They don’t want anything more from you. You cannot hold others responsible for this.
