Veteran actor Rakesh Bedi, who is presently basking in the success of the Dhurandhar franchise, was visited by director and choreographer Farah Khan at his Mumbai residence for her YouTube channel. During the interaction, Farah opened up about their initial days in the industry when Rakesh wasn’t even paid for his work in films. Looking back on those early days, Farah asked, “Rakesh, do you get paid now? I guess you do. When they all started their careers, nobody used to pay them.”

 

“The times were different,” Rakesh Bedi replied. When Farah asked Rakesh if he was paid for Deepti Naval and Farooq Sheikh-led Saath Saath, he went on to reveal that it was the only movie for which he was not even paid a single penny. “I did not even get paid for the conveyance. In fact, many a times, we used to take food from our home,” he added. Taking a trip down memory lane, Farah recalled that she was just 15 when Rakesh was studying at FTII. She revealed that back in those days, they used to have free food and alcohol at Javed Akhtar's house.
