When Moushumi Chatterjee called Jeetendra a 'producer's man'

Mumbai, May 17

Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee has done several movies with Jeetendra. During her appearance on the popular "The Kapil Sharma Show," she praised her co-star for his punctuality and work ethic.

Speaking about Jeetendra, Moushumi called him a producer's man. She revealed that during the shoot, he would get ready around an hour before the shift time.

Moushumi was heard saying, "He is a very, very hardworking man. What I know about him. And he is a producer's man."

"For a 9.30 shift, he would get ready at 8.30 and tell all, "Get ready. Get ready," she shared.

Actress Reena Roy, who also graced the episode with Moushumi, pitched in saying that even if they used to be on an outdoor shoot, Jeetendra would call them from the reception, and say, "Hello, get ready. We are leaving for outdoor shooting".

Moushumi added, "He was like this, that's why he sustained. What he was able to do for so many years was because of his hard work and punctuality, which most heroes did not have."

Giving an example of Jeetendra's punctuality, she went on saying, "Back in those days, in a 9.30 shift, he would get ready at 8.30 while there were others, who wouldn't be ready till 3.30 - one was Sanjeev Kumar, second, Rajesh Khanna, and third , Shatrughan Sinha, they simply wouldn't reach".

Just like Moushumi, Reena Roy has also worked with Jeetendra in a total of 22 films, including "Jaise Ko Taisa" (1973), "Umar Qaid" (1975), "Nagin" (1976), "Udhar Ka Sindoor" (1976), "Apnapan" (1977), "Aasha" (1980), "Arpan" (1983), to name just a few.

Shifting our focus to Moushumi, she made her debut as the leading lady in 1972 with the Hindi film "Anuraag".

After that, she starred in several noteworthy films alongside some big names from the industry, including "Naina", "Kachhe Dhaage", "Us Paar", "Benaam", "Humshakal", and "Roti Kapada Aur Makaan".

"Producer's man" - that actually means he was reliable and bankable! Today's stars should take notes. Imagine a superstar getting ready an hour before shift... unheard of now. And Reena Roy ji mentioning 22 films with him shows their great chemistry. Nostalgic!

Interesting how Moushumi didi called out the big stars' tardiness! But honestly, being a "producer's man" is a compliment - it means he respected production schedules and budgets. Jeetendra's legacy as a disciplined actor is well-deserved. Though I wonder if the others had their own creative process...

Kapil Sharma Show always brings out these gems! But tbh, calling someone a "producer's man" might sound shady if you don't know the context. She clearly meant it as highest praise - punctuality, dedication, no tantrums. In today's Bollywood, we need more actors like Jeetendra ji! 🙌

Reading this makes me miss the old Bollywood charm! Jeetendra's white suits and energetic dance moves were iconic. But I do feel a little bad for the other legends mentioned - Sanjeev Kumar was a genius despite his timing issues. Still, Moushumi ji's admiration for her co-star is heartwarming. ❤️

Arre waah! Jeetendra being punctual while Rajesh Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha were late - that's some spicy Bollywood masala! 😄 But seriously, it
