I still have a letter he once sent me. After the 26/11 movie I did, he wrote me a letter saying that he admires many of my performances, but this one was special. We worked together on the film Kohram, and one morning, he came with sweets. His daughter had given birth. I asked him what the occasion was and he said ‘Nana ban gaya’. I said, ‘Woh toh hum bachpan se hain’. I also complimented the shirt he was wearing. In the evening, lo and behold, that same shirt was hanging in my vanity van. He’d gone home wearing some production shirt.”
