In the year 1981, Big B’s film Lawaris was released which was directed by Prakash Mehra. That film is one of the superhit films of Amitabh Bachchan’s career and this story is about the superhit song ‘Mere Angne Mein…’ of the same film.
The song ‘Mere Angne Mein…’ is a superhit track of that era which even today makes people dance with joy. If you have seen this song, Amitabh Bachchan had taken a female getup. Everyone liked his fun-filled style but there was one superstar who made fun of it and his name was Rajesh Khanna.

This incident is from the 80s when Rajesh Khanna’s career graph was going down and Amitabh Bachchan was getting continuous success. Bachchan was giving back to back hit films and Rajesh Khanna’s films were getting flopped.

According to Lehren, Rajesh Khanna was unhappy with Amitabh Bachchan’s success and used to say a lot of things out of jealousy.

The superhit song of the film Lawaris ‘Mere Angne Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai…’ was on everyone’s lips at that time.
According to the lyrics of this song, Amitabh wore some women’s getup. According to Lahren, when this song started playing everywhere on the radio and became popular, Rajesh Khanna made fun of it. Rajesh Khanna said, ‘I will never do such things just for money, I will never become a woman and I will never compromise with my dignity.’
