There was a long line of taxis below our building, so I would go from driver to driver requesting them to put up the posters but taxi drivers shooed me away.”

She further added, “They would ask, ‘Who’s he?’ I used to say, ‘He is the hero, Aamir Khan.’ They would then point to my image on the poster and ask, ‘Who’s she?’, and I would say, ‘This is me.’ And they would say, ‘No, no’.

To know the success of the film that time actor used to wait outside the cinema halls to have a look at the audience’s reaction. Same Juhi and Aamid did for their film they waited outside cinemas to gauge the audience’s reaction.

She said, “In those days, it was not like today, when daily collection figures are public knowledge in a day. We would stand outside theatres to see if people were going in to watch the movie or not. And we slowly came to know that people actually like our movie”.
