Today is the birthday of Bollywood's 'Jaani' i.e. Raaj Kumar. Raaj Kumar was as outspoken on screen as he was in his personal life. He would say whatever came to his mind to the person in front of him. Many stories of his life are famous when he gave a tough time to the best of stars.

Raaj Kumar came to Bombay in 1940 and started working as a sub-inspector in the police here. The police station in Mumbai where Rajkumar was working was often frequented by people from the film industry. Once, film producer Baldev Dubey had come to the police station for some important work. He was very impressed with Raaj Kumar's way of talking and he offered Rajkumar to work in his film. Rajkumar immediately accepted it and resigned from his job and started doing the film.

Once during a journey, Raaj Kumar met Jennifer who was a flight attendant. Later Rajkumar married Jennifer and Jennifer changed her name to 'Gayatri'. Both of them had 3 children, out of which 2 sons were Puru Raaj Kumar, Panini Raaj Kumar and 1 daughter Vakratika Raaj Kumar.

Raaj Kumar and Govinda were shooting for a film. Govinda was spending time with Raaj Kumar after the shooting was over wearing a fancy shirt. Raaj Kumar said to Govinda that your shirt is very nice. Govinda was very happy to hear this from Raaj Kumar. He said that sir if you like this shirt then you can keep it. Raaj Kumar took the shirt from Govinda. Govinda was happy that Rajkumar would wear his shirt. But two days later when Govinda saw that Raaj Kumar had got a handkerchief made from that shirt.

In the past, actors like Big B have also been a victim of Raaj Kumar's outspoken tongue. It is said that once Raaj Kumar met megastar Amitabh Bachchan at a party and he praised his foreign suit. Then Amitabh was happy and wanted to tell him the address of that place, then Raaj Kumar replied that he had to get some curtains stitched. Big B could not do anything but smile after hearing this.

Everyone knows about musician Bappi Lahiri, he is often laden with jewellery. Once at a party, musician Bappi came across Raaj Kumar. Bappi was laden with lots of gold. At the party, Rajkumar looked at Bappi from top to bottom and then said in his own style, "Wow, great! You are wearing the best jewellery, only Mangalsutra is missing, you should have worn that too. On hearing this, Bappi Da was left speechless."
