Once during a conversation with SocialNewsXYZ, he was quoted as saying,
“This moment I can never forget. 1963…I remember going to Delhi to receive the national award for my first Marathi film ‘Haa Maaza Marg Ekala’ presented by Dr Radhakrishnan, the second President of India in the presence of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.”
He further added,
“I was a 5-year-old wearing a black Sherwani, churidaar with mojarris which my mother got for me. After receiving the award I did Namaste to the both of them and was leaving the stage when I heard ‘Suno’. It was Panditji. He made me sit on his lap. Took out his red rose and put it on my Sherwani and said ‘Jao…bahut bade banoge.”
