Isme Meena joh hain which was my character in the film, yeh gaane mein woh modern dress mein dikhti hain. Uss raat mujhe, Prakash Mehra joh director hain uss film ke unhone kaha tha ki aapko yeh sequence mein modern dress mein rehna hoga. Toh main raat bhar mujhe tension ho raha tha ki itna glamorous lagna hain aur soch rahi thi ki main kaise lagungi kyuki Indian dress ka mujhe pata tha but Modern dress mein lagna tha aur shot mein itna impressively perform karna tha.”
She concluded by saying, “Kamaal ka beat hain isme, main hamesha tension mein raat bhar main soch rahi thi. Phir finally uske baad shooting hui aur voh song aisa hain ki raat mein Amit ji mujhe dhoondhte hain and all toh it was more like an intensive love expression.”
