Once Zeenat Aman approached Raj Kumar at a party. RK was known as a very egoistic guy who didnt give anyone the time of the day. But Zeenat was fresh off her success of Hare Krishna Hare Ram and knew that she was 'un-ignoreable'. When she walked up, RK said "Aap bahut khoobsurat+

+ hain". Zeenat ji thought "I was right, even RK knows me now!"

The RK continued: Aap filmo mein try kyon nahin karti.

#RKStory

#RKStory Raj Kumar was detected with Cancer at later stages in his life. I believe that is what he succumbed to, Om shanti. But he never mentioned it to anyone, taking it on the chin. Some journalist found out and hounded RK about it, asking "aapko cancer hain?" 1000 times.+

+ FInally RK replied the only way RK can. "Hum Raj Kumar hai...tujhe kya lagta hain main sardi-zukam se marunga?"

#RKStory Zanjeer was first offered to Raj Kumar. Prakash Mehra sought appt and came and narrated the story to Raj Kumar. RK patiently heard the full story and said "this is a great story, great script, but I will not do this film". Mehra was shocked, and asked "why?!"

+ RK said, "I cannot stand the badbu (odour) of the hairoil that you are using".

#RKStory One a film, Govinda was a co star with Raj Kumar. One day, Govinda came in wearing a shirt that elicited a lot of praise from RK. RK could not stop raving about that shirt. Govinda was bowled over! His clothing choices being praised, that too by RK who is known for ego!+

+ Overcome with emotion, Govinda took off his shirt and presented it to RK. RK accepted it, and Govinda was on 7th heaven...for the next 24 hours.

Next day Govinda found out that RK had cut the shirt up and was using it as handkerchief on the same film set.
