There was a time in Hindi cinema when actors lived under the fear of the underworld. Be it the discussions of actresses' affairs, or the special friendship of some selected stars with the underworld, their stories still echo in hushed tones in the corridors of Bollywood. It is said that dons like Dawood Ibrahim and Haji Mastan used to invest money even in big films and pressurize the makers to cast those they wanted in their films. 

Dawood Ibrahim's name was associated with so many Bollywood beauties and stories of his love affairs became famous. People know a lot about Don's love life with actresses, but do you know that Don was very fond of a Bollywood actor, whom he had specially invited to his bungalow in Dubai and offered tea, which was revealed by this actor.

This actor who established himself in the world of acting since childhood and made even underworld don Dawood his biggest fan was none other than Rishi Kapoor . The late actor had mentioned two-three incidents related to Dawood in his autobiography. In his book, Bobby actor had told that in the year 1988, when he had gone to attend an event of Asha Bhosle and RD Burman in Dubai, a person associated with Dawood was noticing him there. 

Rishi Kapoor further said in the book, "A man came to me and said that Dawood sahab will talk". After that Dawood invited the actor to his Dubai home. When Rishi Kapoor arrived with his friend, Dawood himself welcomed him and offered him tea and biscuits. 

Dawood had said this before Rishi Kapoor's death

Rishi Kapoor also told in his book that when he was leaving after the gossip, Dawood Ibrahim told him, "If you need anything, money or anything, call me without hesitation". This was Rishi Kapoor's first meeting with Don. Referring to the second meeting, he wrote that he met Dawood for the second time when he was married to Neetu Kapoor. 

Actually, after marriage, the couple was roaming in a mall in Dubai, where they bumped into Don. During this meeting, Dawood requested Rishi Kapoor to buy something for him, but the actor flatly refused to take anything. Even the numbers of both were exchanged, but only Dawood could give his number to Rishi Kapoor, the actor did not give the number due to the phone not being available at that time.
