What you can learn from Suchitra Sen’s rejection of Raj Kapoor

Suchitra Sen used to be one of the ‘hot babes’ of Indian cinema with all leading directors aspiring to cast her in a movie. But she accepted only a few of the offers that came her way.

Knowing how difficult it was to get her to sign a movie, the late Raj Kapoor personally travelled all the way to her home in Kolkata. And then to charm her into saying Yes, he did what most men do, he went down on his knees and offered her a bouquet of flowers along with the film offer.

Charming?

She did not think so.

Ms. Sen politely declined the movie.

She later told a close friend, “A man should not bow down before a woman like that” 

She declined a movie from the biggest director at the time because she lost respect for the man.

 

Two important lessons here

  • Lesson 1: Hot babes are secretly fed up with being put on a pedestal, and actually lose some respect for the men who do it. Most men don’t see the simple girl inside, they only see a hot babe and give her compliments, buy her gifts, do her favours and try to win her approval. But the real man does things differently. He ignores the hot babe and talks to the simple girl inside. And that creates attraction.
  • Lesson 2: Even wealthy, successful, famous men can be completely clueless when it comes to attracting women.
