Bhagyalakshmi criticizes actor Tini Tom for ‘Baseless' remarks about Prem Nazir's final days - 'Deeply hurtful'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Veteran actor and dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi has publicly condemned actor Tini Tom for his recent claims about legendary Malayalam actor Prem Nazir . In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Bhagyalakshmi said she was disturbed by Tini's suggestion that Nazir had spent his final days 'crying at the houses of Adoor Bhasi and Bahadoor' due to lack of film opportunities. 'For those of us who worked with him in Madras till 1985, who knew him closely and experienced his generosity, this is painful,' she said. 'I personally met him shortly before his death at Edappazhanji in Thiruvananthapuram. He was happy and surrounded by his family. That was one of the most peaceful phases of his life.' "You cannot repeat everything you hear" Bhagyalakshmi stressed that public figures must exercise caution when speaking about others, especially someone of Prem Nazir's stature. 'Even if Tini heard this from someone else, he should not have repeated it without verifying the facts,' she said, calling the claim misleading and harmful. Celebrating Prem Nazir's birth anniversary She pointed out that many YouTube channels today share unverified stories about late actors for views, but it's not acceptable for someone from the industry to echo such narratives. 'Tini Tom wasn't even active in cinema when Nazir sir was alive,' she reminded, adding that such remarks discredit the truth known to those who actually spent time with the legendary actor. "Nazir sir was never that man" Bhagyalakshmi recalled how Prem Nazir would often turn down roles saying, 'Let someone else do it... call him instead.' She described him as a generous host whose Madras home was always open to fellow artists from Kerala. 'He never cried for roles. He never sought pity. To paint him as someone who begged for work in his final days is a disservice to his legacy and hurtful to his family.' Her message to Tini Tom was clear: 'If you believe that about Nazir sir, it's time to change that belief.'

When Rajesh Khanna accused Amitabh Bachchan of ‘playing dirty politics' during the 'Namak Haraam' shoot
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) In the golden age of Hindi cinema, two of Bollywood's biggest stars Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan found themselves on opposite sides of an intense off-screen rivalry. While they had earlier shared the screen in the beloved 1971 film 'Anand,' their reunion in 'Namak Haraam' (1973) proved to be far more complicated. According to accounts documented in Yasser Usman's biography Rajesh Khanna: The Untold Story of India's First Superstar, Rajesh Khanna believed that Amitabh Bachchan was undermining him behind the scenes, particularly with director Hrishikesh Mukherjee. Mukesh Khanna reportedly suspected that Bachchan had "poisoned" the director's mind. This led to a change in the film's original climax. The Fight for the Death Scene The central tension revolved around who would get the film's heroic death. In 'Anand', Mukesh Khanna's emotionally charged death scene left a lasting impact on audiences. Hoping to recreate that legacy, he reportedly demanded that his character die in 'Namak Haraam'—a deviation from Hrishikesh Mukherjee's original script. Rekha Reveals The Only Compliment Amitabh Bachchan Ever Gave Her | Silsila Memories Resurface Gulzar, who wrote the film, revealed in the same book, 'We had to change the end because Hrishikesh Mukherjee had promised Rajesh Khanna the death scene.' The change caught Amitabh Bachchan off guard, who only found out on the day of the shoot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Deeply hurt, Big B reportedly felt betrayed and remained upset with Gulzar for several days. A Rift That Never Healed The tension didn't end on set. Rajesh Khanna's long-time associate, Prashant Roy, recalled that the superstar held a lasting grudge. 'During the entire shoot, he believed Amitabh was playing dirty politics. Hrishida stopped visiting frequently after that. Amitabh never came to Aashirwaad,' he shared. The two icons never worked together again after 'Namak Haraam'. Rajesh Khanna passed away in 2012 at the age of 69, having left behind a legacy of stardom that marked the beginning of Bollywood's superstar era.
