| Controversies | • Raaj Kumar and Raj Kapoor had an altercation at Prem Chopra's wedding party in 1969. Reportedly, the altercation started after Raj Kapoor told Raaj Kumar, “You are a bloody murderer!” Kapoor had told so in anger because Mr Kumar had refused his offer of a side role in Kapoor's multi-starrer film Mera Naam Joker. Raaj Kumar gave a fierce reply to Mr Kapoor, he said, “I might be a killer, but I never went to you for a favour. It is you who had come to me!” • After Mother India's release, Raaj Kumar had gone for an evening drive along with his friend director Prakash Aurora and his wife when he had a fight with some anonymous men who had started heckling Kumar at a Paan shop. The fight was so intense that a person died, and Raaj Kumar was arrested. However, after a year of trial, Kumar was acquitted of all charges. |
