Raza Murad Birthday Special: Why did Raza Murad refuse to shoot a rape scene with this actress?

People might be a little surprised to learn about Raza Murad, the famous Bollywood villain who has carved a niche for himself in Hindi cinema with his powerful voice. But it's true that there's one Bollywood actress whom Raza Murad fears. In fact, while shooting a scene with glamorous Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman, Raza was so scared that he refused to even touch her.

This was during a time when Bollywood made numerous films about dacoits. Furthermore, actresses were often cast as dacoits alongside actors. This is the story of the film "Daku Haseena," starring Zeenat Aman and Rakesh Roshan, and the villain was Raza Murad. A rape scene was to be filmed between Zeenat Aman and Raza Murad.

But Raza Murad refused to do the scene. The film's producers tried to convince him, but he refused. It's worth noting that Raza Murad is a relative of Zeenat Aman. He is Zeenat's cousin. That's why Raza was nervous about shooting the rape scene with Zeenat.

When Raza refused to agree even after the director's persuasion, director Ashok Deva entrusted Zeenat with the responsibility of convincing Raza. Zeenat then explained to him that as actors, we should focus on our work, not relationships. During acting, an actor simply portrays his character. Raza understood Zeenat's point and agreed to perform the scene.
