He didn't even talk to me much, many times he used to look at me and turn his face away and I used to feel bad too. That's why I refused to do further films because if you don't have chemistry with the person with whom you are doing the film, how will you work?
Asha Parekh further said, 'Later Rajesh Khanna was scolded and he called me and said that I did not mean it like that. They were just afraid of me. Then I did that film and the film was also successful.
