New DelhiBollywood stars work hard for their roles in films. To make his role look real, he sometimes forgets his family and even himself as to who he really is. A veteran Bollywood actress had done something similar for one of her films 42 years ago. We are talking about actress Shabana Azmi and that film was ‘Masoom’ which was released in the year 1983. In this movie, actor Jugal Hansraj was seen as a child artist with Shabana. In such a situation, Jugal told in his recent interview that Shabana had maintained distance with him on the set and that too for this reason. Let us know what was the reason?

Actually, Jugal Hansraj recently gave his interview to ‘Pinkvilla’. During this conversation, Jugal told that Shabana Azmi did not talk to him on the sets of ‘Masoom’ and used to maintain distance, whereas she used to talk to other child artists a lot. He said, ‘Urmila Matondkar and Aradhana were also seen as child artists in the movie. Who were in the role of Shabana’s daughters in the film. She used to talk to both of them a lot and was friendly, because she was their mother in the movie and they were her children in the movie. But Shabana ji lived a little away from me.

Jugal Hansraj further said in the interview, ‘Earlier I could not understand all this, but later I came to know that this was a part of her (Shabana Azmi) process. She did not want us to come close because the strangeness between us was visible even on the screen. Everyone came to know that there is a discomfort in me and also in my mother. So he did that very beautifully. Let us tell you that in ‘Masoom’, actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Saeed Jaffrey, Tanuja and Supriya Pathak were in lead roles. This movie was directed by Shekhar Kapur. Later ‘Masoom’ was also remade in Telugu and Turkish languages.
