While filming Highway, Randeep Hooda claims that Alia Bhatt was “terrified” of him. “I ensured that.”

In a recent interview, actor Randeep Hooda talked candidly about his relationships with his co-stars. In an interview with Humans of Bombay, he discussed how working on Sarbjit strengthened his relationship with Dalbir Kaur and why Alia Bhatt was “terrified” of him on the Highway sets.

On the set of Imtiaz Ali’s 2014 film Highway, Randeep was questioned if it was true that he didn’t speak to Alia. He said it in the positive, adding that the actor was so afraid of him that she wouldn’t even sit next to him. “When we shot for Highway, I didn’t talk to Alia for 20–25 days,” he stated. “

To maintain her fear of my character, she used to be afraid of me. She was this girl from Juhu who had not seen much of the world; she had not had much exposure,” he continued. I took care to ensure that. I never had a conversation with her. She refused to sit next to me as well. That is the desired outcome for the film.

Randeep Hooda talked candidly about his equations with Highway co-star Alia Bhatt in a recent interview.

Additionally, Randeep claimed that he had real-life changes as a result of seeing the 2015 movie Main Aur Charles and the 2016 movie Sarbjit. “Through filming, I became close to Sarabjit’s sister, Dalbir,” he remarked. We continued to communicate until her death. I lit her funeral pyre as per her request.

She was a kind woman who took care of her brother’s kids, with whom I have had conversations. He then teasingly said, “In a similar vein, I also had communication with Charles Sobhraj.” Charles, you are a wanted criminal; please stop calling me. He used to call, message, and video call me from the jail in Nepal.

Soon, Randeep will appear in the film Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, where he portrays Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Alongside Ankita Lokhande, Amit Sial, Rajesh Khera, Lokesh Mittal, and Brajesh Jha, the film is a biographical drama directed by him. The film was originally slated for director Mahesh Manjrekar, but withdrew owing to artistic issues.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”
