I am not saying I was very beautiful, but I was reasonable, so he used to like me. I was very young, and he was an assistant. Unhone bohot sharfat se, tehzeeb se, tameez se mujhe shaadi offer ki. He said, ‘Moti, moti, I love you, and will you marry me?’ I said, ‘No, mujhe kaam karna hai. I want to reach somewhere.’”

“Woh bohot he acche insaan the. Unke jaisa accha insaan aur accha director bohot kam hai. Abhi unke bete Aditya Chopra bhi acche director hai. Lekin bohot kam hai duniya mein acche director producer bante hai aage jaake. But unhone bohot genuinly mujhe like kiya tha aur izzat se mujhe shaadi offer ki thi; aisa nahi tha ki line maar rahe hai. Woh bohot shareef insaan the. Fir jab unhone shaadi ki toh, mai unki shaadi mein bhi gayi thi. We were very, very good friends,” Mumtaz added.
