Narrating the story, Rajesh shared that while his stint with comedy began by playing a dead body on a show, giving the necessary expressions was an art he learned gradually. While talking about Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, Rajesh Kumar recalled a day when Deven Bhojani scolded him for the same. He says, “One day Deven Bhojani got angry with me, he showed me the monitor and said that when it was my lines I was lively, but when I had no lines my expressions were dead. By then I had done a few shows, and I thought I was giving a reaction, but it was a blank face.”

He continued, “That day Naseeruddin sir was on set, and I could see that while I was being scolded he was there. After seven failed takes, Naseerji asked Deven for two minutes with me, he took me to the make-up room and said just one line to me. He said, ‘There are two kinds of actors – they are either born listeners, or they have to inculcate the habit of listening, start listening and your problem will be solved in whatever you do after this’, believe me, it took me 7 years to start hearing what the other person was saying.”
