“Duniya of stars. I had attended the location shooting of this film in Cochin. Dilip Kumar and Rishi played cricket and Javed and I played antakshari on a cruise. Very few producers can match Yash Johar and Hiroo Johar as hosts.”

Dinesh Raheja spoke of the hospitality of Yash and Hiroo Johar (the producers of the film) in reply.

Among some of the pictures shared by Shabana include a picture of hers from a school trip in Kashmir, some tender moments, shared with her father, late Kaifi Azmi.
