Chunky stated on the show that SRK’s first movie was noteworthy since it was connected to his family: “Humare poore parivar mei koi actor bana nahi kabhi.” No one in our family ever became an actor, but my uncle, my mamaji, used to play character roles.

Govinda also talked about one of the best things that happened to him while filming the episode: shooting a song with British pop star Samantha Fox. He remembered how it all started with Subir Mukherjee’s mother, who had supported his mother. Years later, life came full circle when he decided to star in his movie for only a dozen bananas and a coconut, not money.
