Ranbir Kapoor shared a behind-the-scenes story about raj Kapoor’s classic 1964 film Sangam.
Raj Kapoor wanted Vyjayanthimala to play Radha in the film.
She initially declined the offer for unknown reasons.
Since phone calls weren’t common then, raj kapoor sent her a telegram.
He wrote: “Bol Radha Bol, Sangam Hoga Ki Nahi?”
Vyjayanthimala replied: “Hoga, Hoga, Hoga.”
These lines became the lyrics of the iconic song “Bol Radha Bol” in Sangam.
