And at that moment I was in Jassii’s costume. I kept on thinking in my mind with regret, he does not know how I look, I wanted him to know how I look. Shah Rukh sir came and told me, my kids love you. I was like, really? He said, they only eat their food after listening to your title track. I was just looking at him.”
