Actors and actresses from the industry have faced some horrible incidents that made them question their dignity. Some of them stayed but many left at that moment. Here we are about to discuss the same thing that happened to a veteran actress when she just started her film career.
When Biswajit Chatterjee Forcibly Kissed 15-year-old Rekha on sets
Yes you read that the actress we are talking about is none other than Rekha who created an impeccable benchmark in the history of Indian Cinema. But many of you may not know this but at the age of 15 she was forcibly kissed by her co-star which left her in a state of shock. In 1969 the actress signed Kuljit Pal’s Do Shikaari (earlier named as Anjana Safar). In the film she was paired with 60’s Bengali Superstar Biswajit Chatterjee whose age was 32 at that time while Rekha was 15 years old.
In Rekha’s published biography she mentioned the incident regarding how lead actor and director planned to shoot a kissing scene without her consent. In this particular scene Biswajit had to showcase his love for her co-star but soon the camera rolled the actor went on a kissing spree and grabbed her by surprise which made her uncomfortable. However the director did not cut the shot and continued leaving Rekha devastated and shocked. After the scene ended Rekha was left in tears with her lips bleeding.
During that period this incident came to light and became one of the most sensational topics. Later during an interview when Biswajit was asked about the tragic incident he proudly defended it by saying that he only took the directors command for the scene and added that this particular scene was loved by audiences and that is why it felt justified to him.
‘Do Shikaaris Fate At The Box Office
After the kissing incident the film went on a delaying spree as Rekha did not agree to return to the set. Somehow the makers managed to complete the film with both the actors and later it was released in 1979 which tanked badly at the box office. Following this incident Rekha and Biswajit never worked together.
