Rishi Kapoor's Khullam Khulla interview to India Today: Bought an award, met Dawood

Rishi Kapoor spoke to India Today Television Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai in an exclusive interview where he spoke about the various instances from his life that he has written in his autobiography Khullam Khulla: Uncensored.

In his book, Rishi Kapoor mentioned that he paid Rs 30,000 and got a film award for himself in 1973 for his work in Bobby. For Bobby, Rishi did win the Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 1974, an award which he claimed to have bought in a year-old interview with The Quint.

When asked about the same, Rishi said that he never wrote which film award he actually bought, so it can be Filmfare. Or not.

Rishi also said that even though he did pay "a man" the money, he is not sure if it went to the award committee's pockets, so he could have been conned as well.

He also spoke about his twin encounters with dreaded gangster Dawood Ibrahim, meeting his wife Neetu and tasting fame and money in Bollywood and beyond.
