Congratulations on your first day of college, Urvashi.
Oh, Papa!
Thank you, Papa. - Slowly. Slowly, dear.
Okay tell me, how was your day?
Fantastic, Papa. I left everyone behind.
It was so much fun. They wanted to rag.
They think they're very smart.
I showed them their level.
After all you're my daughter.
We are going to tell you a tale of Pran's generosity.
After the failure of the 1970 film 'Mera Naam Joker'..
..showman Raj Kapoor was going to make 'Bobby'.
In this film, Raj Kapoor wanted to cast Pran.
But at that time, Pran was the actor to charge most money.
Raj's financial condition was not so good at that time.
That's why he couldn't approach Pran..
..for the film even after wanting to.
When Pran learnt about this..
..he himself agreed to work in Raj Kapoor's film 'Bobby'.
And as fees, he just took a rupee for good luck.
This is how Pran helped Raj Kapoor.
Pran has played an important role to build..
..the actor of the decade Amitabh Bachchan's career.
It is said that on the reference of Pran..
..Prakash Mehra signed Amitabh for 'Zanjeer'.
Amitabh respected Pran a lot.
That's why when Amitabh made his comeback film..
..'Mrutyudata' in 1997, Pran worked in his film..
..after being approached, even after being ill.
There are many such Bollywood's unsaid tales..
..which we will get to you.
