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.
