Vyjayanthimala Bali, which was thrown across the Thespian in his four landmark films – Devdas, Madhumati, Naya Recycling and Ganga Jamuna – said working with him was an education and experience that falsified a lifetime association.
“When Bimalda asked me to play Chandramukhi (for Devdas), I was amazed because I would act with the king of the tragedy.
But he made it very comfortable,” Vyjayanthimala said, which in 86 continued to pursue his desire to Bharakatyam.
The first scene he applied with him was quite simple.
“The line is ‘Aur Mat Piyo Devdas’ (don’t drink it again, Devdas).
I have to say it when Devdas walked drunk.
This camera was to capture Devdas and then follow him and change the focus on me when I spoke the line with the expression of sadness and helplessness Of course.
”

He thought it would be easy.
“When the technicians announced the readiness to shoot and Bimalda looked at me to find out if I was ready, I realized that Dilip Sahab was not in the set.
An assistant told me that he took a quick round of studio to get a tired and tired look and he had instructed him They started the camera when he would stagger with real sweat beads in his eyebrows and see fatigue.
“Vyjayanthimala said it was the right moment when he began to panic.
“Here is an actor who takes so much trouble to bless realism and here is me who hasn’t made preparations and is ready to face the camera.
When it starts and I see the extraordinary perfection of the performance of the Sahab pembip, all I can do is talk to the line : ‘Aur Mat Piyo, Devdas’.
The appearance of helplessness on my face is what Bimalda wants.
”
In ‘Madhumati’, he heard a voice and looked for.
The face of a girl emerged from the fog and she asked: “Who are you?” He replied, “Madhumati.” The scene was brilliant in the way it was conceived and done, considering Vyjayanthimala.
“Dilip Sahab always uses his voice effectively, modifying it with the best situation and moments in ‘Madhumati’ showing how well he uses the soft texture of his voice to increase tension and mystery.”
For him, he said, it’s all about time.
“He said the interaction was more important than the action, that is, the way you react to other characters.
And that time time moves – even a nod of head – important.
I can do it because my Bharakathyam Foundation helps me imitate and have fast reflexes,” he said.
Vyjayanthimala left the industry, but continued to share the bond with Saira Banu.
He remembered the time when he met them in 2017.
“I went to Mumbai with my son Suchindra to receive the award.
Saira sent a car, and I visited Dilip Sahab.
He has an officer around him and Saira tried to persuade him, said,” See who comes , Dhanno (Vyjayanthimala’s character in ‘Gangga Jamuna’) has come.
He opened his eyes, it was just a flicker.
Saira asked me how he saw, and I said he looked as good as he did in ‘Madhumati’.
I met them again in 2019 but he was very calm.
