I was being paid Rs 8 lakh even as a struggler. I was the highest paid actress of my time. As a child, when my mother asked whom I wanted to marry when I grow up, I'd say I wanted to marry the son of the Shahenshah of Iran. I wanted only the best in life.

Delhi CNG pump owner robbed at farmhouse of Rs 30 lakh: Victim's drivers among 4 arrested
Three days after a CNG pump chain owner was robbed of Rs 30 lakh, the Delhi Police arrested four men — including two of the victim's drivers. The two drivers — Satendar Singh, 35, and Anil, 54 — and their accomplices, Santosh Tripathi, 40, and Shammi, 49, were arrested from different parts of Delhi where they had fled to evade capture. The incident took place on Monday night when the victim, Karan Chopra, was with his family at his farmhouse in Ghitorni. A man posing as a delivery boy knocked on his door. As soon as Chopra opened the gate, he was pushed aside by the accused while three more men entered his house, police had said earlier. 'They told him that they have guns. They told him to stay calm, and let them leave with the cash. They took whatever money and jewellery was at the farmhouse. Then they took Chopra to his office on MG Road in Gurgaon in his own car to take out more cash,' a police officer had said. Following the arrests, police said a total of Rs 6.6 lakh of the stolen amount has been recovered from the four accused — Rs 3.15 lakh from Satendar; Rs 95,000 from Anil; Rs 1.95 lakh from Santosh; and Rs 10,000 from Shammi. Police said the two drivers, who were arrested late Wednesday, were the brains behind the whole operation. 'The two knew everything about the amount of cash that was kept at both the victim's house and his office. They called in the other two accused to help pull off the robbery for a fraction of the proceeds,' DCP (Southwest Delhi) Amit Goel said. After questioning Satendar and Anil, police arrested the other two accused on Thursday morning. 'Attempts to recover the rest of the stolen amount are being made,' a police official said.

However, Mumtaz confessed that in those days, her parents were very strict and it was not like how relationships work today. She said in an interview with Filmybeat, "Hamare zamaaane mein aisa nahi tha ke pure din saath mein baithe rahe because I was also busy working and even him. I would come home from work and entertain his guests. Dekh liya, khana vana ho gaya sab ho gaya. Then I would say, I will go now because my mother will wait for me and she would scold me. Uss zamaane mein parents were very strict, I come from a Muslim family, Iranians are very strict. I never went shooting alone. My mother was always with me. Toh aisa kabhi nahi hua ke poore poore din aur raat saath bitaye ho. (During our times it wasn't like we will spend the whole day together because we were both busy working. I would come home from work though, go to his house, look after things, entertain his guests, look at all the arrangements for him and his guests. Then I would quickly rush back home as my mom would scold me. Our parents used to be very strict. I never went on a film shoot alone. There was never a time when we spent days and nights together)." She further spoke about choosing her career over love. "I have said this many times that we didn't get married because Papaji (Shammi Kapoor's father) didn't allow the women in his family to work. I was ambititious. They didn't allow women in their house to work. Uss wakhat Geeta ji (Geeta Bali) ne bhi kaam chhod diya tha. Agar kuch hona hai shadi ke baad bhi, pichle darwaaze se jaake bhi insaan ishq kar sakta tha. He was right and I respect him immensely for that. Jinko pyaar ho jaata hai, woh karte hi hai. (I respected him (Shammi Kapoor's father) for his decision for not allowing the women in his family or his daughter-in-laws to work. But I feel that if someone wants to cheat in a marriage, they can go out and do it in anway. He was right though in taking his measures and I truly respected him)." In this interview, she also mentioned that Shammi was married to a very good woman and she feels good that she was by his side when he passed away. Shammi Kapoor was married to Geeta Bali. After she passed away, Shammi had met Mumtaz. Later after they parted ways, Shammi married Neila Devi.
