Calling him a ‘god’, she added, “Over the years there were song/ roles that were offered to me by SLB production, for some or the other reason I couldn’t do them, still today if I want to see him or go to his house just to chat with him, he sits before me like a living God smiling gently, showering kindness and admiration through his eyes, man of few words SLB ji is simply wonderful.”
It was during an interview in 2020, when the actress had shared that the filmmaker offered her a song in ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela’ but “it didn’t work out” and she added it will be her “biggest regrets.”
