Veteran actress Mumtaz is happy that today actresses have vanity vans and many other facilities on film sets. In fact, during an interview, he told about the struggles of his time. The actress told that during her time one had to walk for miles to go to the washroom. This incident happened during the film 'Aap Ki Kasam'.
She also talked about her relationship with Bollywood actresses like Waheeda Rehman and Vyjantimala and how actresses of her time did not talk to people they considered 'lesser' than them.
Recalling that time, he told an incident related to the shooting of the film 'Aap Ki Kasam'.
Mumtaz told Dawn News – During the shooting of the song 'Jai Jai Shiv Shankar', there was no bathroom for miles. So, if I had to go to the washroom, I would take my hairdresser with me and go in search of a bathroom.
Today's actresses are very lucky
Mumtaz said that today's actresses are very lucky. Today vanity vans are available for their convenience. All these facilities were not there in our time. He further said- I am happy that today girls have the facility to use washrooms. Because it is difficult to walk miles for washroom.
At that time big actors did not like to talk to small actors.
When Mumtaz entered the Hindi film industry in the 1960s, actors like Waheeda Rehman and Vyzantimala were ruling the industry. Mumtaz said that only a few of them were able to mix with new people. He said- Those people were very big and we were small, they did not like to mix with us. The actress told about veteran actress Waheeda Rehman that she used to be very down to earth. Vyjantimala was also there at the same time, but she did not talk to me.
Mumtaz believed that it also depends on the nature of the person – 'Some people do not want to talk to people inferior to them. Some artists don't even sign autographs when they are on the road. However, Mumtaz managed to befriend Anju Mahendru and Poonam Sinha (Shatrughan Sinha's wife) and shares a very close bond with them. She agreed that she was not able to make friends easily.
Well, Mumtaz is not the first actress to talk about the problem of bathrooms for women in those days. Earlier, veteran actress Asha Parekh had also mentioned this problem. She had told in an interview that during the shooting at that time, women faced a lot of problems due to lack of clean washrooms.
Artists like Rajesh Khanna, Mumtaz and Sanjeev Kumar worked in the film 'Aap Ki Kasam', released in 1974. People liked the story and songs of this film so much that J Omprakash became a hit with his first film.
