Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Baazigar’ (1993) was a blockbuster hit.
Directed by Abbas-Mastan, the film earned a worldwide of Rs 32 crore in a budget of just 4 crores.

The film gave new heights to the career of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Shilpa Shetty, but Irani, who played the role of ‘Vicky Malhotra’, faced a lot of conflicts.

When Salman Khan was afraid of fading in front of Govinda, interesting anecdote related to the film ‘Partner’!

There were no money to buy milk for the daughter!

In the interview given to the film system, Adi Irani remembered the days of his struggle:
“My first daughter was born in 1995. At that time, milk used to get 5 rupees a liter, but many times I did not have enough money. ”
“I had to go to the city in search of work every day, but there were no money to fill the scooter tank.”
“Sometimes I would borrow a scooter from friends, but had to take a loan to get petrol filled.”

Buses used to walk till the stop, people had to lie!

Despite working in films like ‘Baazigar’ and ‘Anari’, his financial condition was bad.
“I used to walk from home to bus stop, because there was no capacity to buy petrol.”
“People used to ask me what are you doing at the bus stop?” I used to say that I am waiting for a friend. “

PCO had to pay 1-1 rupees for Callback!

At that time he did not have a call.
“There was a PCO near the house, there I used to deliver the message for 1 rupee and give another rupee for Callback.”
“I did many roles just because I needed money, even if I did not get any credit for them.”

Aruna Irani offered help, but…

Adi Irani’s sister Aruna Irani is a well-known Bollywood actress.
“Aruna knew my condition, she offered help many times, but I refused.”
“I am his brother, it does not mean that she will take care of me throughout his life.”
“It was my own fight, and I had to win it myself.”

Why did not get success despite so many difficulties?

Adi Irani played small roles in many films, but he never got the recognition that should have been found after ‘Baazigar’.
Is this due to their wrong decisions, or the industry ignored?
