00:00He has made films all these years.

00:03All the films he has made are patriotic.

00:06So he is always connected with the country.

00:09He was so fond of this.

00:12And he also joined BJP for some time.

00:15But because of his health reason he could not continue.

00:18But he was very very fond of this party.

00:21And whatever good work he used to do for the country, he used to praise him a lot.

00:26So when I came to the Parliament and became the MP of Mathura,

00:31he used to always talk to me on the phone.

00:34And he used to find out what was happening.

00:37And even then I used to say,

00:40why don't you continue your film making?

00:43There are no film makers like you these days.

00:46He said, yes, yes, I will do it.

00:49But it is very sad that he is not there anymore.

00:52Such beautiful memories are there,

00:55working with him in such wonderful films.

00:58First started with Sanyasi.

01:02There were so many good songs in that.

01:05He was an expert in picturizing songs.

01:08He knew how to present the heroine.

01:11He was such a director.

01:14And whatever film I have made,

01:17if there is another director, it is only for the name.

01:20Because he himself used to be a director.

01:23He was very interested in film making.

01:26And I got the opportunity to do four films with him.

01:29Sanyasi, then Dasanambari,

01:32then Kranti, and one film Santosh.

01:35I don't know if it was released,

01:38but it was not so popular.

01:41It was not released properly.

01:44But I have very beautiful memories with him.

01:47All the films he has made,

01:50are very good films.

01:58All the memories are so much.

02:01I can't even describe it.

02:04I got the opportunity to work with such great people.

02:07I consider myself very fortunate.

02:10Those directors are not there today.

02:13Because of whom my name is still there.

02:16I have worked in such films,

02:19whose songs were very good.

02:22Very meaningful films,

02:25and very neat and decent films I have worked.

02:28Such directors used to present me.

02:31When they meet a heroine,

02:34they know how to present.

02:37So I have worked with such great directors.

02:40And today these people are not there.

02:44I feel very sad when I think about it.

02:47When I appear in the Indian Idol film,

02:50when I go to the reality show,

02:53I remember it a lot.
