Faryal

“…Believe me it isn’t a common experience having one’s bra opened by Shatrughan Sinha. It is a very, very different experience. He is simply fabulous… “The mere recounting of her beroom scenes with Shatrughan in “Heera” seemed to send Faryal into a fit of ecstasy.

We hoped he doesn’t oversteps the limits of the script on such occasions.

“Shatru?” No. Premnath does. In ‘Gold Medal’ there is a scene-of both of us lying on a sofa. But during the shot he rolled down on to the carpet taking me along with him! Believe me, that wasn’t in the script. Several minutes passed and still the shot was not getting over. Everyone including the director Ravi Nagaich and Jeetendra, was watching the fun and having a good laugh when I got up and shouted ‘Will someone say cut, bloody soon?’ Premnath was the least bothered himself: poor chap, he gets drowned in his roles. I am terrified to work with him. Though I know he is a tremendous artist.” – June, 1973
