Zaheer Iqbal said that Shatrughan Sinha was out for work. He was waiting for such a moment when his mood would be good. He recalled, ‘He had to return from Delhi after 2-3 days. I practiced a lot about what to say to him. Some lines were funny, while the tone of some lines was serious. I was prepared for all situations. I did not know about his nature. I had the same opinion about him as others had. He seemed serious. I spoke to him falteringly in the beginning - I love your daughter very much.’
