This actress who was called Rajesh Khannas right hand missed becoming the daughter-in-law of the Kapoor family. Can you recognise which actress are we referring to? The actress in question is none other than the one and only Mumtaz. The veteran actress gave a tough competition to many big and popular actresses during her prime. In her acting career Mumtaz won the hearts of the makers and the audience featured in more than 150 films. Mumtazs pairing with Dharmendra was considered a hit. Her beauty and talent soon made her the highest paid actress of that era. She even rejected the marriage proposal of a darling of the Kapoor family. Mumtazs success didnt come early as compared to other actors she faced a lot of rejections in the beginning of her acting career. She started her film career at 12. Initially she appeared only in supporting roles in multiple films. Before making her mark Mumtaz was a part of B grade films. For the unversed Mumtz worked in almost 16 films with Dara Singh. In one of the interviews with Vicky Lalwani Mumtaz revealed that Shammi Kapoor used to work with her in Brahmachari. She liked him and both wanted to get married. Mumtaz said Shammi Kapoor was very handsome. There is nothing to hide in this I also liked him but there was a difference of 17 to 18 years in our age in those days Raj Kapoor was very strict. He said that the daughter-in-law of his family cannot be an actress. Due to this condition she rejected Shammi Kapoors marriage proposal and after this the duo was seen together. For the uninitiated Shashi Kapoor flatly refused to collaborate with Mumtaz in the film Sachcha Jhootha. He considered Mumtaz as Dara Singhs heroine. Shashi Kapoor even called her a B-grade actor. Saying this he refused to work with Mumtaz. Later Mumtaz married big businessman Mayur Madhwani in 1974 and after this she distanced herself from the world of cinema.
