'Mere Karan Arjun aayenge' - This dialogue is sure to remind everyone of Rakhee Gulzar, one of the leading ladies of the 70s. Her popularity was such that Yash Chopra wrote the 1976 blockbuster film 'Kabhie Kabhie' after seeing her. The famous lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi took inspiration from Rakhee's personality to write the song for the film 'Kabhie Kabhie Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai…'. Sunil Dutt was such a fan of Rakhee's acting that whenever he got the opportunity to see her performance, his eyes stayed moist.
In a film career spanning 4 decades, Rakhee has worked in nearly 100 films, for which she has been honoured with 2 National Awards, 3 Filmfare Awards, and a Padma Shri.
Rakhee's life was full of ups and downs, sometimes she had to bear the pain of her husband Gulzar's infidelity, but Rakhee, who is firm on her principles, never accepted defeat. She once said, "I am firm on my will and self-respect, even if there is a financial crunch, but I will never do a film or work that I don't like."
Rakhee Gulzar recently turned 77 years old. Even at this age, she is living her life alone in the valleys, away from the city and glitz. She said, "Now I don't need money, I do my work myself and am living a happy life with animals."

She used to call him Lambu and Big B used to call her Didi. In such a situation, how could he romance Rakhee who he considered a sister? When Rakhee came to know about this, she explained to him saying, "We are artists, our real life is very different from our reel life." Amitabh Bachchan to the film after that.
