Smita Patil started crying after giving a romantic scene with Big B
Rain and romance have a unique relationship in Hindi cinema. The sari-clad actress is seen dancing in the rain while doing a romantic scene with the hero. This way of romance is very old but still the best. Yash Chopra’s films are testimony to the fact that there is no break between rain and romance. But this concept has already been tried in many films. One such film is ‘Namak Halal’.
Amitabh Bachchan and Smita Patil’s chemistry was palpable when they romanced in the rain in the song ‘Aaj Rapat Jayne’ from the 1982 film. Smita Patil, who mesmerized the audience with her sweet smile and simple demeanor in the 80s, left her mark in the cinema world through several films. The film journey of the actress was short, but spectacular and memorable. Smita Patil has been a part of many films like ‘Arth’, ‘Aakrosh’ and ‘Baazaar’.
When he signed the superhit film ‘Namak Halal’, he himself would not have known that ‘Aaj Rapat Jayne’ would be counted among the best performances of his career. There is a story behind the filming of this song. Actually, Smita Patil cried a lot after doing this song. Some romantic scenes were shot on Amitabh Bachchan and Smita Patil in the song. Rather the whole song is full of their tremendous romance. Sometimes Amitabh pulls Smita’s saree and sometimes both romance under the umbrella. Many such sensational scenes have been shot throughout the song.
Smita somehow managed to shoot the song, but after coming home she started crying bitterly. Smita felt so sorry for doing the romantic scene that she could not sleep the whole night. Actually, Smita was an actress of commercial films. He had never given such intensity before ‘Namak Halaal’. He was afraid that his audience would not accept him in such a role. Smita went missing for many days. But as soon as Amitabh Bachchan came to know about this, he explained to Smita. Smita Patil felt comfortable only after Big B explained and then she completed the shooting of the song well.
