Farida Jalal ne haal hi mein ek interview mein Rajesh Khanna ke saath apne anubhav ka zikr kiya aur unki ghamandi harkaton par apni naraazgi vyakt ki. Unhone yaad kiya ki kaise ladkiyan unke kadmon mein gir jaati thi aur unse hastakshar maangti thi, jo unhe bilkul pasand nahi aaya. Yeh kahani na sirf film jagat ki chamakdaar duniya ko dikhati hai, balki sitaron aur aam logon ke beech ki doori par bhi prashna uthati hai.
Rajesh Khanna ki prasiddhi us samay chaaron or thi, khaas taur par jab 'Aaradhna' jaise classic film ka prakaash hua. Unki akarshan aur daulat ne sabhi ko apni or kheecha, lekin Farida ki baatein yeh yaad dilati hain ki prashansha aur aakarshan ka matlab vyaktitva nahi hota. Ek naye kalakaar ke roop mein, jab unhone Khanna ko itni izzat nahi di, to unhone anjaam bhugatna pada, jo ki kafi dukhad hai. Lekin unka apna astitva bana rehna, yeh unki himmat aur apne prati vishwas ka praman hai.
Sharmila Tagore ka Farida ko samarthan dena ek prashansaniya kadam hai, jo mahilaon ke beech ki dosti aur ekta ko darshata hai. Is pratispardha bhare kshetra mein ek dusre ka saath dena bahut mahatvapurn hai. Farida ka anubhav dikhata hai ki sabhi sitare itne chamakdaar nahi hote; kabhi-kabhi unka aakarshan bhi unki vyaktitva ki gahrayi se door hota hai.
Jab hum is kahani par vichar karte hain, to dil mein ek bhavna uthti hai. Idols ki chamak zaroor akarshak hoti hai, lekin un logon ke liye jo abhinay se pyaar karte hain, izzat aur samajh sabse mahatvapurn hote hain. Farida ka sitarond ke liye nafrat, hume yeh samjhaata hai ki hume idols ke prati samajdari rakhni chahiye, yeh jaan kar ki ve bhi aam log hain. Isliye, chamak ke beech apne aap ko sachcha rakhna sabse zyada mahatvapurn hai.
Farida Jalal ki kahani sirf purani yaadon ka jhalak nahi hai, balki abhinay jagat ke vartaman par bhi ek prashna hai. Unki himmat se hume yeh samajhna chahiye ki kisi bhi sthiti mein, apni moolya aur vishwas ko sambhalna sabse bada sammaan hai. Aasha hai ki bhavishya ka manoranjan jagat in seekhon ko apnaayega, jisse har kalakar apne naam aur prasiddhi ke beech ek sahi jagah paa sake aur unhe sahi izzat mile.
