The actress was quoted saying, "At Subhash Ghai’s Holi party, Rakesh Roshan walked up to me. I knew he is an actor, I had watched his films. But I didn’t know he is also a director-producer. So, he came to me and did some small talk. He gave me his card and told me, ‘Come and see me tomorrow." She further added, "I was like why is he calling me over, he is an actor. I tore the card and threw it away. I was like there is something fishy."
