Samita Patil.

The driver was constantly looking at Samita Patil from the rearview mirror with tears in his eyes. She was constantly drying them with a handkerchief, but the driver could see the tears falling from the rearview mirror.

Samita Patil's driver was worried but did not have the courage to ask him why. He just stared at the actress from time to time, who was recognized as the city of horizons for commercial films.

He was also aware that in 1977, Samita Patil won the National Award for Best Actress in India for her performance in Shyam Bangal's Bhoomi. Not only that, four years after this award, she was again awarded the National Award for Best Actress for her extraordinary performance in another art film 'Chakra' and these days, for the first time, she directed director Prakash Mehra's commercial film 'Namak Halal'. I was showing the essence of acting for which he said yes after much deliberation.

Unaware of the driver's thoughts, Samita Patil was constantly shedding tears. The incident took place in November 1981, when Samita Patil's name was considered authentic and reliable in terms of art films. It was fortunate for Samita Patil, who started her career in Marathi language films, that in 1975, her extraordinary abilities were tested by director Shyam Bangal's eclectic eyes. When she got a chance in art films like 'Saamna' and 'Charan Das Chor', Samita Patil's film career took a new turn.

One of the two national awards that Samita Patil received was from Shyam Bangle. Director Muzaffar Ali's 'Ghaman', 'Bhavani Bhavi', 'Why does Albert Panto get angry?' And 'Akrosh' were parallel cinematic creations in which the quality of Samita Patil's acting remained high. She was keen to continue the series, but at the same time when director Prakash Mehra offered her the Bollywood masala movie 'Namak Halal', she apologized at first but the art film colleagues did not respond. He urged to show the essence of his acting in commercial films as well. She agreed to the film, which also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman, Parveen Bobby and Om Prakash.

The first day of filming in Filmistan today was a nightmare for him. Which made this princess of art movies cry. He had never thought of doing so in his life, it was the first time he regretted working in any film.

Samita Patil was shocked when the car stopped under her flat with a jolt. With wet eyes he opened the door and more or less ran to his destination. The driver was watching them go. He was still diving into the sea of ​​wonder and curiosity to know what had happened to Madam. He was well aware of the fact that no one had the courage to do such a nasty thing to Madam. Then why is she crying? That was the question on his mind.

Samita Patil, on the other hand, fell on the bed after coming to her room and burst into tears. The storm of tears was not closing. She was constantly crying over the early scenes of the film. The wind was also something that was really strange for the actress of the art film world. She was filmed for 'Namak Halal' with the song 'Aaj Rapat Jaye' in which Samita Patil was to perform while dancing in a saree soaked with artificial rain.

The song was filmed, but in those moments, Samita Patil was cursing herself for saying yes to commercial films. It all seemed strange to them. He was also terrified of how embarrassed and embarrassed he would be to see artists and directors associated with art films on the big screen. How will she satisfactorily answer the stinging questions of these great personalities? How many objections will there be?

The question will also be raised as to whether the actress of art films trampled on ethics at the hands of work passion and hunger in commercial films. He even felt weird when it rained on him from all sides and the dance director asked the cinematographer to cover every angle of his body. These were the thoughts that made Samita Patil cry. Despite being a cheerful song, she was sad, anxious and anxious when the camera turned off.

When the sound of 'pick up' came, her face suddenly turned pale, even though star Amitabh Bachchan offered her a hot coffee, but she turned it down and got flat in her car. But she did not know that her tears were not hidden from Amitabh Bachchan. Samita Patil's tears continued throughout the night. Sleep seemed to be far from the eyes. In such a situation, she had decided that she would tell the director Prakash Mehra in no uncertain terms not to include this song in the film, otherwise she would be separated from the film.

The next morning, when she came to the seat with swollen and dull eyes, Amitabh Bachchan realized the whole situation. At the discovery of which, at first, Samita Patil began to hesitate, but then the insistence increased, and once again, all the bonds of confiscation were broken. When Amitabh Bachchan heard all his concerns, he stared at Samita Patil for a few moments and then said in his typical way, 'Rain scenes and song, the film was needed and who told you that this song But someone will point fingers at you, everyone knows that this character and screenplay was needed and all the friends connected with you will know this very well, so put all fears and assumptions aside and focus on acting. Bus.'

After Amitabh Bachchan's confident style and mesmerizing speech, like the wind blowing in Samita Patil's heart and mind, but still she told director Prakash Mehra that she will act within a certain limit. ۔ They did not give Samita Patil a chance to dance or dance to any other song.

When 'Namak Halal' was released, it was a huge success. The song that Samita Patil was shocked about is still considered to be the favorite song of the rains. It is also interesting to note that in 1982, Samita Patil's' Bazaar ،Fire of Revenge ، Ignorant Heart ،Shakti ،Earth ,Persecution ,Relationship of Pain 'and' Wet Eyes Films like 'A' were screened one after another.

Where there were commercial films, there was also art. Samita Patil also danced in commercials in later films but she could not do again what she did in the song 'Namak Halal'. If Amitabh Bachchan had been unaware of Samita Patil's condition that day, it is possible that Samita Patil's journey of commercial films would have ended before it even started.
