00:00My name was Randhir Kapurne, River of No Returns, and somebody would come and try on
00:16me.
00:17Hey yaar, why am I wasting time?
00:19This is River of No Returns.
00:21But Mehmood Sahib didn't find you River of No Returns.
00:24No.
00:25What happened to Mehmood Sahib with Mehmood Sahib?
00:31What happened to Mehmood Sahib?
00:32I was working with him.
00:33And I was a great fan of his.
00:35First of all?
00:36First of all?
00:37First of all.
00:38Mehmood, Mehmood, Mehmood.
00:40It was like that.
00:41One day, I was back from school.
00:43He was looking at his little nawaap.
00:46So he must have come to see the film reactions and all that.
00:50So I was standing there and I said, Mehmood!
00:54And as they saw me, I was looking at the film.
00:57Okay.
00:58Okay.
00:59Okay.
01:00Okay.
01:01You were in school?
01:02Yes.
01:03I was in school.
01:04Oh.
01:05Mehmood Sahib was so big.
01:06Of course.
01:07So I went.
01:08Now what happened?
01:09I didn't get my job.
01:10Because I was laughing.
01:12I didn't say yes or no.
01:14So no one didn't do it.
01:15One day, Suresh Bhatt said, Aruna.
01:18Suresh Bhatt is a dance director.
01:21And he was a very good friend of Mehmood Sahib.
01:24He said, you tell me something.
01:26Put it in the glass.
01:28Okay.
01:29I said, why?
01:30He will give you this job.
01:32And no one can do anything.
01:34And he was on top.
01:35Right.
01:36So that was my job.
01:37Yes.
01:38Yes.
01:39Yes.
01:40Yes.
01:41Yes.
01:42Yes.
01:43Yes.
01:44Yes.
01:45Yes.
01:46Yes.
01:47Yes.
01:48Yes.
01:49I saw money.
01:50I saw name.
01:51I saw fame.
01:52But I thought, until I become Beva Goof.
01:55Yes.
01:56Then you started to become friends and more than friends.
02:00That was it with him.
02:01And this is gone.
02:05But then, I thought that it's not why it's okay for them.
02:08It's not good for me, it's not good for me, it's not good for my career.
02:12So, both have made their way.
02:14Because he even helped you become a heroine.
02:17Because he was a producer.
02:19One of the producers.
02:21But what happened?
02:22After that, someone said that Aruna is with us.
02:25Vinod Khanna said,
02:27That Aruna will picture me as a heroine as a heroine.
02:32So, let me tell you.
02:34You married with Aruna.
02:38He just said something.
02:41He made my career and he ruined my career.
02:46You said that.
02:47We didn't do that.
02:48You said that.
02:49You didn't do that.
02:51But he was with us.
02:53We were with us.
02:55There was a gap.
02:56But again.
02:57Of course.
02:58Of course.
02:59We have seen it.
03:01I know that you were with Mehmood.
03:05I can tell them.
03:06You can't tell them.
03:07I can tell them.
03:08You can't tell them.
03:09But I have seen them with him.
03:12And after that, I have seen them.
03:14And he told me that I had to break up.
03:18Because my wife didn't like it.
03:20And he also said.
03:21That.
03:22That.
03:23That.
03:24That.
03:25That.
03:26That.
03:27That.
03:28That.
03:29That.
03:30That.
03:31That.
03:32I said.
03:33ARS Rahat.
03:34I love God.
03:35I should.
03:36She's that.
03:37Is calle.
03:38At the end of such a relationship.
03:39Correct.
03:40Correct.
03:41And.
03:42Both of you knew that this doesn't happen.
03:43cottipade, Mia, shaka camp, they're probably a big one of them.
03:46But when I was a girl of mom, she knew how to come to swim, and she saw him last night.
03:49I know. That's fun to all.
03:51That's a target for everyone. I know. That's true.
03:55Actually, when we were sitting in 20-25-26,
04:00we were in the 90s. It seems so funny, right?
04:06It's so funny. How did we give women?
04:11I got a lot of shame.
04:13We were thinking that no one is working. What is working?
04:17We have to do the children.
04:19Do the work of the house.
04:21If you have to eat, you have to eat,
04:23and you have to sit in the morning,
04:26sit in the morning, sit in the morning,
04:28sit in the morning, sit in the morning,
04:30sit in the morning, sit in the morning.
04:32What did we do?
04:34I don't know.
04:35But did you go out of your way
04:38that I should please everyone?
04:41Yes.
04:42No, no.
04:43When you were there?
04:44No, no, no.
04:45Not out of the way.
04:47But definitely,
04:48we have to speak out of the way.
04:50It happens.
04:51I said,
04:52that my first time,
04:54my name,
04:55my money,
04:56my debt,
04:57my debt.
04:58We come from very poor debt.
05:00So,
05:01my debt,
05:02my debt,
05:03my debt,
05:04my debt,
05:05my debt,
05:06my debt.
05:07This is not a debt.
05:09I am not a debt.
05:10It's not a debt.
05:11It's not a debt.
05:12It's a debt.
05:13It's a debt.
05:14It's a debt.
05:15It's a debt.
05:16So,
05:17after seeing the debt,
05:18everyone has helped you.
05:20You have to be worthy of your debt.
05:21You have to be worthy of being in a world.
05:23So,
05:24naturally,
05:25you have to look at the debt.
05:26You look very high,
05:28You look very high.
05:30That's right.
05:31But you see it from a very high perspective.
05:33So actually that was your Gurudakshna.
05:35Yep.
05:39What would you say was the reason for you to break up?
05:43What would you say?
05:45Was the reason for you to break up.
05:46They told me that this was the reason.
05:49What was your reason to break up?
05:51To break up?
05:52Because his family said,
05:55No, you will not do the work with Aruna.
05:59So he stopped working with Aruna.
06:00Then what?
06:01Then what?
06:02Then what?
06:03I don't have any relationship.
06:05I don't have any relationship with him.
06:08And now what would I do?
06:10My family is my family.
06:12But that's what God gave me.
06:15He gave me a responsibility.
06:18Correct.
06:19So what would I do?
06:20I could come out of it.
06:21Absolutely.
06:22Come out of it.
06:23No, I must work.
06:24And all of them were studying and writing.
06:27Now I was in college or in school.
06:30So my work was very important.
06:32So I started concentrating on that.
06:36So I started writing.
