Rishi Kapoor is making headlines these days for his just-released book Khullam Khulla: Uncensored. In Delhi to speak about his autobiography, Rishi told India Today Television Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai why his book is called Khullam Khulla. "Remember the song Khullam Khulla that was picturised on me?" Rishi Kapoor told Sardesai. Apart from tidbits from his book, Kapoor also spilled the beans on several controversial topics that he has penned in his book, from buying a film award for his film Bobby to having tea with dreaded gangster Dawood Ibrahim.

One of the most-discussed bit from his autobiography is that Rishi admitted buying a film award in 1973 for his film Bobby. While speculation has led everyone to infer that the award he bought was a Filmfare, Rishi contradicted that. He emphasised, "I did not write a Filmfare award (in the book). I have not said any names. I have said I bought *an award*."

"I feel guilty about the fact. I was all of 20-21 years of age and I was suddenly a huge star after Bobby, and I was a real brat. Someone told me that, 'You know, we can get this award, do you want it?', and I said, 'Yes, of course,' and then he said, 'It will cost you Rs 30,000.' 30,000 rupees back then was big money. So I said why not," Kapoor said.

He went on to add, "But listen... that man could have been a con-guy. Giving the benefit of doubt, it may never have reached the original guys. I never thought that the award was compromised. Yes, I did go on to get it, but perhaps they gave it on merit? I don't know whether it went to their pockets. But I gave a man that amount of money."

People say film awards can still be bought, even today, asked Sardesai.

"I'm not aware of that. Because I just got one couple of days back... I didn't pay for that!" Kapoor said, with a wink. Filmfare just awarded Rishi Kapoor with the Best Supporting Actor for Kapoor and Sons.

Sardesai then asked Rishi if in hindsight, does he think buying the award was one of the worst things he has ever done.

"I regret it. Absolutely. It was my age, I had no vision, nothing was correct for me at that point of time. And I was a rich man's son, and I felt even richer to be working as an actor. I regret that very much. Till today," said the 64-year-old actor.
