Simi Garewal Mera Naam Joker’ is really special to me. A girl, who had idolised Raj Kapoor since her childhood, was actually working with him! – Simi Garewal
Simi Garewal I was working with two prolific directors Raj Kapoor and Satyajit Ray at the same time. It was an amazing experience to shoot with two top directors – one in commercial and other in art cinema. – Simi Garewal
Shweta Basu Prasad I have grown up watching Satyajit Ray, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chatterjee, Ritwik Ghatak, Raj Kapoor; listening to SD Burman, RD, Kishore Kumar and Salil Chowdhury. – Shweta Basu Prasad
Sherlyn Chopra When I met Raj Kundra for the first time, I thought my whole life would change. I thought I’d get big breaks. I never thought Shilpa Shetty’s husband would make me do wrong things. – Sherlyn Chopra
Sherlyn Chopra Raj Kundra was my mentor. He had misguided me, saying whatever I was shooting was for glamour. He even told me that Shilpa Shetty likes my videos and photos. – Sherlyn Chopra
Sherlyn Chopra Raj Kundra kept telling me that Shilpa Shetty liked my videos and photos. This gave me more motivation to work on such videos. When you are motivated by people like Shilpa Shetty, you don’t understand what’s right and wrong. When I was praised for making such videos, it gave me a push to do more. – Sherlyn Chopra
Sharmila Tagore We used to do four or five films at a time and were not able to experiment with too many things. But, the heart was in the right place and everybody worked passionately. We had wonderful directors like Bimal Roy, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Raj Kapoor. – Sharmila Tagore
Saqib Saleem I started getting modelling assignments and that’s how I became interested in acting. But my father, who last watched Dilip Kumar’s ‘ Devdas,’ wanted me to do MBA. I didn’t listen to him and gave my audition for Yash Raj films’ ‘Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge’ and got selected for it. – Saqib Saleem
Sanjay Leela Bhansali My ‘Devdas’ was a tribute to all the mainstream masters, from Mehboob Khan, K. Asif, and V. Shantaram to Raj Kapoor. I am not saying critics shouldn’t have criticised my film. But they should have judged the film within the genre and format that I had chosen. – Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Rimi Sen Whatever little bit exposure I have done in ‘Dhoom’ was only because of Yash Raj Films, otherwise I don’t believe in flaunting skin. Whatever I did in ‘Dhoom,’ I felt very uncomfortable doing it and after that I decided that I would never expose in films. – Rimi Sen
