Tusshar Kapoor reveals his incentive of going on the set as a kid: Was excited to see the stars

Mumbai, June 6 (IANS) Actor Tusshar Kapoor shared that his incentive for going on a film set with his father Jeetendra as a kid used to be the excitement of meeting other stars.

During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Tusshar shared that he has always been fond of watching movies and hence knew even the child artists of the time. He added that they also loved getting their autographs.

The ‘Golmaal’ actor was asked, “What was your reason? Why did you enjoy going on the set? Did you like watching the shoot, or was there some other aspect?”

To this, Tusshar replied, saying, “I think I used to get quite awestruck by the whole atmosphere on the set. It was boring, but it was so exciting to see the stars. Because I used to watch a lot of films, I used to know who Reena Roy is, I knew who Rekha ji is, and I knew who Hema ji is. I even knew the child stars, as they used to do films regularly sometimes. Whether it was Master Alankar or Master Raju, and so we used to watch them on the set, I would be like “Oh my God, this is him. He was in that film” So we used to take everybody’s autograph. There used to be autograph books back then.”

Tusshar added that they used to get shocked to see others because they had access to our father, but they did not have access to all these other people.

“They were like smaller characters, but they were very, very vivid in our memories because we used to watch movies again and again, whether it was Mr. Pran or Nirupa Raju. So we used to get very, “Oh my God”. They were like gods. Because at that time, there was a lot of craze for movies. And the number of people, the number of footfalls in theatres, or for video cassettes, there was a lot of craze. There was a repeat value”.
