Did you know Meenakshi Seshadri's dad and Vinod Khanna exchanged ‘dirty jokes’ on set during lunch breaks? Actress reveals

Meenakshi Seshadri and Vinod Khanna were one of the most loved on-screen couples during the 1980s and 1990s. Their on-screen chemistry in films like ‘Satyamev Jayate’, ‘Jurm’, ‘Police’, ‘Mujrim’ and ‘Humshakal’ are often talked about. Looks like the on-screen chemistry is rooted in the rapport they had off the screen.

Meenakshi recently opened up about the bond she and her family shared with Vinod Khanna. In a recent interview with Lehren Retro, the actress shared some anecdotes on working with Khanna. She expressed that she had a ‘great equation’ with Vinod Khanna. She further added that her dad loved visiting the sets when she was shooting with Khanna, and during lunchtime, they used to trade ‘dirty jokes’. And how others on the set would wonder what the trio was laughing at.

Seshadri also expressed that the late actor was a ‘chill guy’, despite being on the top of his career graph. She also expressed that Vinod Khanna was a ‘gracious’ and ‘inclusive’ person.


One of Bollywood's leading stars in the 1980s and 1990s, Meenakshi Seshadri made her debut at the age of 17 with the movie 'Painter Babu (1983)', but it was her role in 'Hero (1983)' opposite Jackie Shroff that caught the eyeballs of the insiders as well as movie buffs.
