. Read More Actor-filmmaker Manoj Kumar’s passing on Friday left a big void in the Indian film industry. Actress Moushumi Chatterjee, who worked with him in Roti Kapada Aur Makaan (1974), remembers him as a talented director.

She recalled, “When I was pregnant with my elder daughter, the industry thought that I’m not interest in my career and many people got upset. One of them was Manoj Kumar.
He did not make the silver jubilee trophy for me for the film, and I was told that by Shashi Kapoor ji. But then people turned into a bigger gossip." She went on to add, “Since I was pregnant, Manoj Kumar gave the song Haye Haye Yeh Majboori to Zeenat Aman.
Her character was so sophisticated and the language of the song was meant for my character Tulsi, but he got so angry that he gave the song to her."
