A Quote by Naseeruddin Shah

It was the '70s when mediocrity came in Hindi films. That's when the actor called Rajesh Khanna joined the industry. For all his success, I think Mr. Khanna was a very limited actor. In fact, he was a poor actor.
If there has to be one favourite actor of mine, it has to be Rajesh Khanna.
Jatin Khanna and I both changed our names for the silver screen. He became known the world over as Rajesh Khanna and from Ravi Kapoor, I transformed into Jeetendra! A little known fact is that we were also school friends.
The biggest high for me was to marry Rajesh Khanna. That was a high, and I don't think my success was as much of a high as getting married to this superstar. I used to be a big fan of his; it was dream come true.
I have always looked up to Rajesh Khanna sir's work. And when I think of biopics, his is the first name that comes to my mind.
I have always seen Rajesh Khanna coming on the sets with his secretary only and no one from his family.
I found myself playing Rajesh Khanna's mother just nine years after I played his leading lady in 'Khamoshi.'
When Rajesh Khanna died, I cried so much, my husband was confused.
An actor is an actor. There should be no labelling - mainstream actor, art film actor, serious actor, comic actor.
TV and films are same for me. I took a decision to be an actor, and I am an actor. I never decided to be TV actor or film actor.
Nobody knows the man behind Rajesh Khanna, because that never existed. In his last few days, he had told me, 'Pack up, show is over.'
I got to work with A-grade stars like Rajendra Kumar, Feroz Khan and Rajesh Khanna.
When I joined films, I was clueless about the industry and had no aspirations to be an actor.
I agree when others say I am underrated as an actor... When you give super-hit films, then only you are considered as a good actor. At least, that is how it is there in our industry. I think you need to be successful to be appreciated.

My journey with Rajesh Khanna was good, thrilling... a roller coaster ride. I feel honoured to have two children with him.
It's a brutal world out there. If you consider the case of superstar Rajesh Khanna, he was a darling of the masses in his hey days, and his fans resurfaced only after he passed away. Such is the life of actors: one gets so addicted to fame and glory, and then it is very difficult to accept a fall. You are forgotten and only remembered when you die!
