Actor Mumtaz captivated audiences with her unforgettable acting and charismatic screen pairings alongside iconic stars such as Shammi Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna In several of her interviews, Mumtaz has reflected on her time working alongside her co-actors, sharing emotional and previously untold stories involving them. Yet, during a more recent conversation with... Times of India Mumtaz shared how her comments have caused pain to many, with even Shammi's spouse being affected.
Mumtaz speaks out about unintentionally causing hurt with her remarks
Mumtaz shared that her open revelations landed her in complicated circumstances, stating, "Everyone continues to question me about the usual topics. Even my sister received several calls from individuals who raised complaints with her. Some claimed Mumtaz ought not respond to such queries. However long can I keep saying 'no comment'? Everyone wants answers to every possible thing. My sibling advised me: You're upsetting certain members of the film world'. That was never my intention—I hold them close like relatives."
मुमताज़ कहती हैं कि शम्मी कपूर की पत्नी उनसे उनके बारे में बात करना पसंद नहीं करतीं
She mentioned that Shammi’s wife gets upset because she continues to talk about him, saying, "The people I’ve talked about—now even their children are grown—and they aren't happy with me speaking openly. Still, I’m not sorry for what I said. However, it has become repetitive over time. Everyone always asks only about Rajesh Khanna and Shammi Kapoor—it's really tiresome. Since his wife takes offense at this, thinking 'why should she be discussing my husband,' I also do not wish to cause pain."
In 1955, Shammi tied the knot with actress Geeta Bali. Unfortunately, she passed away due to smallpox in 1965. Following her demise, Shammi remarried Neila Devi in 1969, and their relationship lasted till he passed away in 2011.
Mumtaz once shared her thoughts on working with both Shammi Kapoor and Rajesh Khanna during their prime years in Bollywood. She described Shammi Kapoor as an energetic performer who brought immense enthusiasm to every film he was part of. According to her, his dynamic screen presence made him stand out among actors.
Regarding Rajesh Khanna, she expressed admiration for how effortlessly charming he looked before the camera. In fact, many co-stars found themselves drawn into believing they were genuinely loved just from sharing scenes alongside Mr. Superstar himself! His ability at making audiences feel connected emotionally played key roles behind becoming such iconic figures within Indian cinema history - something which remains unmatched till date even after several decades since golden era passed away gradually over time due changing trends etcetera...

Mumtaz once spoke openly about her deep feelings for Shammi that went unanswered and recalled with emotion their final encounter at one of his parties. She also shared a heartfelt wish to cross paths again in some future birth. "I hardly exchanged any words with him," she mentioned. "For a bit, I just sat next to him quietly and asked him to look after himself. Seeing him so close to death left me heartbroken. They do say that those who share strong bonds might find each other in another life — agar woh sach hai toh hum phir kabhi mileingein (if this belief holds truth, maybe our time together isn’t over yet). Whether something like that really happens or not, well… I can only wonder. What remains certain though is what an amazing soul he truly was." Reflecting further on Shammi as someone quite particular when choosing relationships despite having charm enough to attract countless admirers effortlessly; according to her perception -"His looks were simply unmatched!" She added appreciatively before wrapping up thoughts around how selective both personally & professionally made sense coming from such charismatic individuality marked distinctly through timeless appeal!
She mentioned how Rajesh Khanna's female admirers often felt envious of her due to the closeness she shared with the megastar. She further pointed out their deep connection and successful string of fifteen hit movies together as factors leading many to speculate about a romantic relationship between them. For those unfamiliar, Mumtaz and Rajesh captivated audiences through their screen magic in popular films such as *Do Raaste*, *Aap Ki Kasam*, *Roti*, *Dushman*, and *Sachaa Jhutha*.
