A nostalgic chat, together with Filmfare Editor @jiteshpillaai and my wife @parveendusanj. Came to present an Award along with my dearest granddaughter @alayaf , to whom, two years ago, I’d presented the Film Fare Best Debut Award. It was fun being on the Jury of these well-deserved awards. Filmfare Awards have always been the Oscars of India.”

One of them wrote, “Nice, I watched in my childhood many of your films but one was a hit in USSR, Khoon Bhari Maang where you both with Rekha Ji acted. It was a huge hit also in Armenia, watched many times in our village cinema. Thank you.” “She is remarkably forgiving considering you almost fed her to the crocodiles,” said another.
‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ is a remake of the Australian mini-series ‘Return to Eden'( 1983). The film was released in 1988 and was a big hit. The film’s plot revolved around Rekha as Aarati being pushed off a boat by her second husband Sanjay played by Kabir Bedi. Somehow, she miraculously survives the murder attempt and undergoes cosmetic surgery to plot revenge on her husband.
