Meenakshi Seshadri recalls ‘big mosambis’ being thrown at her and Jeetendra during ‘sensuous song’ shoot: ‘The pain was unexplainable’

She said, “I have done quite a few films with Jeetendra. One of the best memories I have with him is, we were shooting for a song sequence in Ooty and huge mosambis were thrown at us down the slopes. When someone is throwing mosambis with that force at you, and when it hits your body, the pain is unexplainable. And we were shooting a sensuous song. I will never forget this.”

Hoshiyar, directed by K Raghavendra Rao, also starred Shatrughan Sinha and Jaya Prada in lead roles. The songs for the film was composed by Bappi Lahiri. It was a remake of the film Telugu film Kirayi Rowdylu. The film, however, was a flop at the box office.

In the same interview, she also revealed that Shatrughan Sinha, who was known for being late to sets, came on time for her. “I was shooting in Chennai and had to be in Mumbai for another film. I requested Shatrughan Sinha to be on set on time, he was so sweet, he was there. After the scene, he told me, ‘Don’t tell this to anyone’.”

Meenakshi and Jeetendra also reunited for the films Mahaguru (1985), Aag Se Khelenge (1989), and Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi (1992).
