When I first saw her on stage as Umrao Jaan, I fell in love. Many years later, when I met in 2017, found her simplicity and warmth beyond imagination. She used to call me just because she watched some epi of Guftagoo and liked it.

A remarkable actress. A sensitive and private person in real life, Uttara tai was the epitome of dignity and humility. Time spent with her during the making of films Uttarayan and Shevri, have added value to my life.
