But, my inner self still insists that it was ’’ DESTINY ’’ and that REKHA & RAKESH ROSHAN were mere puppets in its hands.

It was my peak time then.....
Nationally, Internationally my written Articles & Photographs were being published regularly in every known publication in every language.
PRO of Film “MADHURI” invited me to shoot the film stars Rekha and Rakesh Roshan at Madh Island, Mumbai, INDIA and He came along with me in my car to the location.
Earlier on various different locations and at different dates, days and times I had shot Photographs of Rekha. Quite a few of them had already appeared with credit to me in reputed publications of that time.
I was visualizing inside as to how best I would bring her out in Photographs at that location.
Continuously for many hours I had clicked lot of Photographs of Rekha and Rakesh Roshan. We also had lunch together during break time, when all of a sudden....
Rekha mysteriously changed her mood called me in front of all those present angrily and said “DEVDAS!, GIVE ME THE COLOUR ROLL FROM YOUR CAMERA NOW...”
Shocked the people present around ;a few of them regular and permanent staff of the Film Industry, tried to pacify Rekha to continue the shooting but she became adamant and stopped all activities.
Watching this Raakesh Roshan came to me, put his hand on my shoulder taking me aside in a corner pleaded, “Devdas, my future is at stake. I have two more films coming up with Rekha which could make my career. I do not have any other assignments with any other top heroine. If she is displeased my future ends here.”
Hearing Rakesh Roshan I simply opened my Camera handed over the Colour Roll to him without uttering any word. He gave it to Rekha who seemed to derive immense sadiastic pleasure in throwing my hard work into the Madh River waters.
Seeing all this all people around said lot of nasty things about Rekha..
But my mind reminded me that it was all “DESTINED” AND that REKHA & RAKESH ROSHAN were pre-assigned by its hands.
Although I accepted all this as part and parcel of life, yet this did not bring any comfort to my mind. I felt horribly depressed.
In that depressed state of my mind while driving back home, I threw my expensive Camera and Acc. Were REKHA & RAKESH ROSHAN mere puppets in the hands of DESTINY? — Devdas “Kusum”
