They never liked me, they were jealous that I got to romance him. Women don’t like sharing. They were jealous. And it’s not like I had to work hard to catch a glimpse of him. We were neighbours. I used to look out of my window and see 10,000 women outside his house. I would think, ‘Baap re Kaka, yeh toh problem ho gayi hai‘. They would stand there, thousands of them.”She said further, “We didn’t have a single flop, not even one. Distributors would buy our films just because Rajesh and I were in them. But it’s very sad that artistes are forgotten when their films start flopping.”Earlier in an interview, Mumtaz had said about Khanna losing his stardom and said, “We stars are what we are because of your love. Without your love, we are nothing. It wasn’t entirely Rajesh Khanna’s fault. I remember when he was known as the phenomenon. My bungalow was very close to his. I have seen big-name producers and directors behaving like his chamchas. His girlfriend Anju Mahendroo would play host all night. She would serve food and drinks till 3 a.m.”
