Saira Banu has been sharing anecdotes about her film ‘Junglee’ alongside Shammi Kapoor. The actress in yet another post recalls the time when the team shot the surfing scene for the song ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’.
She wrote, “After that hilarious incident and my confident affirmation that "Main Kar Ke Dikhaungi," Subodh Uncle prepared for the shot with Srinivas, the cameraman, and the music began, believe it or not. I got it right and performed the shot beautifully! So, I was filled with a sense of determination that, God willing, I would never give up like this. Shammiji walked up to me, held my shoulders, and laughed. "You see, you needed a little bit of a push and some scolding." I was quite a sensitive girl, and I was deeply hurt, so I promised Shammiji that I wouldn`t work with him until I proved myself as a good artist. True to my word, I turned down several films, like "PROFESSOR" and "JAWAAN MOHABBAT," until decades later when B.R. Chopra Sahab cast me opposite Amitabh Bachchan, and I played Shammiji`s daughter in "ZAMEER." We both used to laugh about this unique casting turn of events!”
