Birth Anniversary: ​​Untold story related to the life of Nasir Hussain

It often happens in the film industry that there is a Muhurta in the morning, and a party is held to celebrate it at night. But one amazing thing that happened with “Jabardasth” was that it also remained quite cold in the morning. Dharmendra, Rishi Kapoor, etc. could not attend as they were out. The night, instead of being a party on the occasion of 'Jabardasth', was organized by H.M.V. in celebration of the extraordinary sales of the records of 'Hum Kisi Se Kam Rahein'. A party was organized to distribute round discs. That party was also very cool. Earlier, such functions of Polydor have been more successful.

When I asked producer-director Nasir Hussain, 'The film's golden jubilee has also happened. The film has also been released. Now, how are you holding this party?”

'Sir, the thing is that this party has been postponed since October. I was busy with the preparations for the film “Jabardasth”, so the party could not be held on time so The H.M.V people said that they would throw the party only on the occasion of the auspicious time of the film. That's why the party took place today." Nasir Hussain said.

'Nasir Sahab, who is paired with Dilip Sahab in 'Jabardasth' - Asha Parekh or Sharda?" I asked,

“Yusuf has a double role in this. On one hand, Asha Parekh is the wife, and on the other hand, it is Sharda.” Nasir Saheb said.

“What's the matter that your Tariq was not taken this time?! I asked,

“The role in Jabardasth was not as per the schedule, and there is no benefit in getting a role that does not suit him.” Nasir Hussain told?

Meanwhile, the distribution of gold discs started. The first disc was given to Nasir Saheb. The second was given to Rahul Dev Burman, and the third, when the name of Majrooh Sultanpuri was called, was Majrooh's son (who is also Nasir Saheb's assistant)

When Rahul Dev Burman went to take it, he said, “I will take my partner's disc. When he brought the disc, Nasir Saheb said, 'Pancham is very fond of getting photographed. Poor guy (Majrooh's son) had come wearing a new suit, but it became useless. After that, when Asha Bhosle's name was called, Pancham did not go to collect the disc. While people were thinking that Pancham Ho would take his disc. After that, when Rishi Kapoor's turn came, Chintu's secretary Ghanshyam took the disc and said - Rishi's duplicate junior is bringing Rishi Kapoor's disc. When he got the disc in his hand, he said, “It is quite heavy.” On this, Nasir Saheb said, 'That's why my wife is going to go home and get her earrings made.' Many thoughts were echoed on this. When Kajal Kiran, etc., took their discs, the distribution ended, and then Dilip Krimar asked Andrey, 'Yes, brother, where is our disc?' On which people started laughing, and then Dilip Kumar was made busy taking photographs with those taking and distributing the discs.
