Actress Sujata Mehta, who was seen in films like Pratighaat, Yatheem and Gunah, has talked about the affairs of her co-star and the film industry. The actress has told that when Sridevi and Mithun broke up, she was shooting a film with Sridevi. After the breakup, Sridevi started remaining quite silent.
Recently, while talking to Hindi Rush, Sujata Mehta said that at one time she was compared with Sridevi. He further said, everyone used to say that Sridevi is very arrogant, but it is not so. She was very nice to me. You won’t believe it, but there was always someone with him. Once she was with her niece. When I went to the ground set, everyone’s seats were occupied. As soon as I went and sat on the other seat, he picked up his niece and asked her to let him sit with me. There was no problem between us.

He further said, she spoke very little. She was an introvert. That’s when she had a breakup with her grandfather (Mithun Chakraborty). She used to remain very quiet. There was no point in going into his personal life. I used to talk about his dance.

Further in the conversation, Sujata Mehta also talked about the relationship between Salman Khan and Sangeeta Bijlani. He said, Sangeeta and Juhi Chawla were together during their modeling days. We used to shoot together for calendars, press ads and magazines. There used to be a photographer’s studio opposite the Roxy Cinema. I Sangeeta and Juhi were shooting there and suddenly someone came there. He was Salman Khan. Then Salman and Sangeeta were having an affair. In my opinion, she was the first woman in Salman Khan’s life. Salman was very simple at that time. He used to come to meet Sangeeta. He was not a star at that time.
Sujata Mehta has told that at that time Salman had not started working in films and no one even knew him. Sujata’s second meeting with Salman took place when her father Salim Khan had called everyone home.
Let us tell you that Sujata was a well-known actress of the 80s. Sujata, who entered films with the 1987 film Pratighaat, has worked in films like Gunahon Ka Devta, Aaj Ki Aurat, Gunah, Udhar Ki Zindagi, Hum Sab Chor Hain and Jung.
