apni zid aur apne zameer ko chhoD kar, baaqii sab kuchh bech diyaa

Film: Agar Tum na Hote

Year of release: 1983

Spoken by: Raj Bedi (Raj Babbar)

Spoken to: Ashok Mehra (Rajesh Khanna)

Dialogue writer: Ramesh Pant

Ashok Mehra is launching a range of cosmetics and hires a well-known photographer Raj Bedi for a total contract value of Rs 2.5 lacs. However Raj falls in love with his model Radha (Rekha) and decides that he cannot allow anyone to even see the photos that he has shot, let alone hand them over. This leads to the client (Ashok Mehra) threatening to file a police case. Raj lands up at Ashok's office with a briefcase. Ashok thinks he has buckled in and is handing over the photos and transparencies. But Raj reveals that the briefcase contains Rs 2.5 lacs in cash, which indemnifies the client in full from any possible loss. A surprised Ashok asks Raj,

"kyaa ham aapse poochh sakte hain ki aapne itni baDi raqam kaa intizaam, itni jaldi kaise kiyaa?"

After Munnabhai MBBS, any question that begins with "kya main poochh saktaa huun..." can have only one answer. "Nahiin".

But jokes apart, Raj retorts with this classic Ramesh Pant line. 

"apni zid aur apne zameer ko chhoD kar, baaqii sab kuchh bech diyaa"

"अपनी  ज़िद और अपने ज़मीर को छोड़ कर, बाक़ी सब कुछ बेच दिया"
