At first sight, on seeing Nargis, 22 -year -old Raj Kapoor was defeated. For the first time, she worked with the actress in the film fire in the year 1948. At that time, where Nargis used to have a line of offers of films, Raj Kapoor was just starting his journey. He approached Nargis’s mother Jaddanbai for the first film and offered a fee of Rs 500 for the fire to Nargis.
Nargis’s brother was aware of his emerging stardom and hence he gave a huge fee of Rs 40,000 to the actress from Raj Kapoor. This was the first and last time when Nargis worked for money with Raj Kapoor. The love story of both of them started on the set of this film, after which the actress kept working blind in the love of the showman without any demand in every film.
The actress’s brother and her family were very well aware that Nargis’s love for Raj Kapoor would destroy her career. His family kept worrying about this and he would repeatedly warn them not to work in less money for the actress’s Raj Kapoor.
The love of Nargis and Raj Kapoor was well known. At the same time, the relationship between the two had no name. Raj Kapoor was already married to Krishna Raj Kapoor and Nargis’s mother and brother were well aware that their unnamed relationship had no future.
Every person in the film industry knew that the filmmaker was going to leave his wife Krishna Raj Kapoor and Nargis was just spending his time with him. Perhaps this thing was known to the actress somewhere, but she was forced to adopt this truth at the hands of her love. (Photo courtesy duttsanjay)
For Raj Kapoor, Nargis had put his family and his career on hold. More or more, despite not getting the right remuneration, the actress used to work with the filmmaker. She went on rejecting the offers of the rest of the filmmakers that at one time the rest of the filmmakers stopped offering work. (Photo courtesy duttsanjay)
Nargis was declared the actress of the RK camp, after which she stopped getting work from other makers. Due to working with RK only and only, the financial situation of the actress’s family was deteriorating. From Raj Kapoor, Nargis used to get a fourth fee compared to the rest of the filmmakers, which also had a direct impact on his family. (Photo courtesy duttsanjay)
In such a situation, after the passing of the actress’s mother Jaddanbai, the condition of the family became more bad due to which many times Nargis’s brother Akhtar used to kill the actress often. He wanted to force Nargis to break the relationship with Raj Kapoor by beating him loudly, but this could not happen. (Photo courtesy duttsanjay)
When Nargis finally realized that his love for Raj Kapoor was going to end his career and his life, he ended his relationship with Filmker and turned his face away from him forever and after the 1956 film Chori-Chori, both of them never worked again. (Photo courtesy duttsanjay)
