The actor said that as soon as Rakesh and Pramod Khanna left, Mithun grabbed Shakti by the hair and said, “I am your senior”. He then pulled Shakti into a room, put him in a corner, and called two of his friends. They turned off the lights, directed a spotlight on Shakti’s face, and asked, “Do you want to have a beer?” 

Shakti said, “They then said, ‘His hair looks so good. He entered college as a hero. Let’s cut his hair.’ They grabbed a pair of scissors and cut my hair. I was looking like a monkey. I started crying, touched their feet. They took me to the swimming pool and told me to do 40 laps. I started crying and then they gave me a break.”

Shakti recalled that when he returned to his room, Mithun knocked on his door and explained that he would lock it from outside to prevent any further ragging, as it might continue otherwise. Mithun and Shakti later starred in films such as Baadal, Pyaar Ka Karz, Dalaal, Gunda and Kranti Kshetra.
