To ladki baithi hui thi, mere saath baithi, toh boli, ‘Sir, I am a huge fan. I have seen all your films. I am a huge fan and congratulations, aapko National Award mila.’ Mai bada proud feel kar raha tha ki mujhe National Award mil raha hai. Usne bola, “Sir, how many films have you done.’ Maine bola, ‘I have done about 135 films.’ To fir maine bhi pucha, ‘How many films have you done.”
