Sadhana Recollections – Raj Kumar (1964)

This is a film I have many positive memories of. I enjoyed making it and I felt very comfortable working with my co-star, Shammi Kapoor. I had a very different kind of a role, that of a tribal princess, with different outfits, intricate hairdos and things like that. One song …
