The actress also told an anecdote related to Manmohan Singh, she wrote, 'I remember very well the meeting with Dilip Sahab and Sultan Bhai (Sultan Ahmed) with Dr. Singh, when Dilip Sahab got out of the car, I was surprised to see the former Prime Minister welcoming him with a smile. The scene that came before me after this was equally heart-touching. Later when we entered his room, there was only one chair around a small table as seen in the pictures. Without hesitation, Dr. Singh moved aside, picked up another chair and politely gave the chair to Dilip Sahab. This simple act, this gesture of respect, says a lot about the person. Today the whole country is remembering his humility, intelligence. May his soul rest in peace.'
