Veteran actor Moushumi Chatterjee<\/a><\/strong> and filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee<\/a><\/strong> worked together on just one project in their long, illustrious careers \u2014 the 1992 TV show Talaash. In a recent interaction, Moushumi revealed why she only starred in one project by the late legendary filmmaker, despite their family ties.<\/p>\n

When asked about working with Hrishikesh Mukherjee only in Talaash, Moushumi told Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, \u201cThat was Hrishikesh\u2019s fault. I don\u2019t know what he thought or noticed.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Revealing the reason behind their limited collaboration, Moushumi shared an instance when she once visited Hrishikesh Mukherjee\u2019s house after he had called her. Because they had family ties, she went to see him. At that time, the filmmaker confessed to having jeopardised her career and admitted to sabotage her career after she had refused one of his earlier projects.<\/p>\n

Recalling her meeting with Hrishikesh at his home, Moushumi said, \u201cHrishikesh couldn\u2019t walk, that was his condition at that time. He called me and said, \u2018Indu mujh maaf karde. Mein tera career barbad karne mein laga tha<\/em> (Indu, I am sorry. I was trying to jeopardise your career). You remember you heard a story of a film and you agreed to do it also, but I had refused to cast you and gave the name of another heroine.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Moushumi then shared why Hrishikesh wanted her to fail. She said, \u201cHe told me, \u2018You had hurt my ego when you had refused to star in Guddi.’\u201d Guddi was a 1971 film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, which marked the debut of Jaya Bachchan in Hindi cinema.<\/p>\n

\"Festive<\/a><\/p>\n

During the conversation, Moushumi also revealed her side of the story and explained why she wasn\u2019t allowed to star in Hrishikesh\u2019s film. \u201cThat time I was Calcutta girl. The character was required to wear a mini frock and we had the culture of wearing sarees from the age of 13. My father didn\u2019t allow me to star in the film. He said, \u2018She is 10th standard. She won\u2019t go to Mumbai<\/a>.\u2019 I also wasn\u2019t comfortable wearing the mini frock. At that time, how would I have known who is Hrishikesh Mukherjee,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n

Talking further about her conversation with Hrishikesh, she added, \u201cThese are his words, \u2018Indu I was so revengeful towards you that this girl refused to work with Hrishikesh Mukherjee, I will destroy her career.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Later, Hrishikesh apologised for his mistake and even offered her a role in Talaash during the same meeting. \u201cHe told me, \u2018Give me a chance to redeem myself. Please do Talaash. The heroine that has been suggested to me doesn\u2019t have that spiritualness that you have,’\u201d the veteran star recalled.<\/p>\n
