This is how Krishna Raj Kapoor reacted after seeing ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’s’ climax

Raj Kapoor reformed the entire Bollywood industry when he entered the industry. He was the actor, producer and director who broke stereotypes and dealt with social issues with his cult movies like ‘Bobby’ (1973), ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970) and ‘Prem Rog’ (1982). His most controversial film was ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ which was a super hit in 1985. Bold scenes of Mandakini which showed her breastfeeding and bathing in a transparent saree were something filmmakers couldn’t think of at that time. Raj Kapoor used to make his wife Krishna Raj Kapoor watch every film of his for her advice. When he showed her ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’s climax, she said that the film will be a flop as in the end, the female lead dies.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, Rima Jain, Raj Kapoor’s daughter divulged how her father reacted on the comment of her mother Krishna Raj Kapoor. Rima says, “If he shot a scene, he’d ask her opinion. Like he showed her the climax of Ram Teri… where Ganga (Mandakini) dies. My mother said, “Ganga mar gayi, picture flop!” But he had made two endings and showed her the other one. However, he didn’t like being corrected. He’d say, “Ab Krishnaji Raj Kapoor ko seekhayegi kaise film banana!” When she was younger he’d call her Billo. Later, he began addressing her as ‘Krishnaji’ out of respect. But after 10 drinks if she chided him about going overboard, he’d shout back ‘Krishna!’ Once they had a fight where my mother picked up the bottle and threw it on the porch. The bottle rolled and rolled… hit against something and stood up! My mother couldn’t help laughing. Papa said, “Stupid woman! She thinks it will leave me, it won’t!”
