Veteran actor Ranjeet, who has been a part of more than 200 films, has opened up about an embarrassing fan encounter in front of actor Rajesh Khanna. He remembered a fan being upset with him because he consistently took beatings from “dedh-foot” heroes, and this incident occurred in front of Khanna.
When Ranjeet was shooting for the film Chhailla Babu in Rajasthan, a fan rushed to him in excitement, but refused to give the actor his favourite sweet dish, citing a hilarious reason. Ranjeet said that Khanna and the director were also sitting there.
In an interview with Radio Nasha, Ranjeet said, “He came to me and said, ‘I am your fan and I have brought rabdi and bajra roti for you. But he said, ‘I won’t give it to you. I will give it to dogs but not give it to you.’ When I asked why, he said, ‘Pehle aap mujhe yeh batao, aap dedh-foot ke aadmi se maar kaise khate ho.’ I was feeling so embarrassed because Rajesh Khanna and the director were also sitting there.”’

The veteran actor also revealed that he was one of the highest paid actors of Khotey Sikkey and revealed that he was paid Rs 10,000. Recalling his love for a sweet dish, Ranjeet said that he spent all his salary on rabdi.
During the film shoot, there was a woman selling milk, and the actor suggested she use the milk to make rabdi instead. He told the woman, “Amma, stop selling this milk from tomorrow. Make rabdi out of the whole milk. The whole bill was cut from my salary.”
