Dharmendra Recalls A Scary Crocodile Encounter While Shooting a Song with Rakhee Gulzar in Jeevan Mrityu

Veteran actor Dharmendra went back to the seventies when he was shooting for the song "Jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga" for the film "Jeevan Mrityu". "The song was shot at various places and I remember when Rakhee and I were on a boat at Powai lake for the shoot. At a distance, we could see what looked like a rock. But as we came nearer to it, we realised it was a crocodile!"

Dharmendra shared the anecdote during Zee TV's singing reality show for kids Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li'l Champs.
