Misbehavior
'Would never compromise with my dignity'
Chatterjee said, "That's because I would never compromise with my dignity, no matter what."
"All that is in the past. Gulzar and I made up and did Angoor many years later."
She also spoke about her experiences with male co-stars and admitted to having slapped actors who misbehaved with her.
"They deserved it, they were sexist."
"You have to see both sides of the coin. The heroes used to flirt with the heroines, and they expected the heroines to reciprocate."
