02:20I don't know how many films they have made, a famous film. It was a very busy studio.
02:30So they have made a film like Godan, Christian Chopra, the director of his office, Ramiz Seigal,
02:48who have made a film like Shola and Shabnam, Mahesh Kaur, who have made a film.
02:57All the offices were there.
03:00So one day I reached the studio late in the evening.
03:07So Christian Chopra said,
03:10I said to myself, I'm looking forward to seeing you all the time. Where were you?
03:17I said to myself, today I was a kid.
03:22So I was just my house, so my friends took me here.
03:28My friends were my assistant.
03:31He said to myself, my friend is Homie Seithna.
03:35He made a documentary called Gangu Tehli.
03:39So I thought to myself, I said to myself that you do your work.
03:44I told Homie to myself that he was watching you.
03:47And then he went.
03:48So he said that Chopra was running the tracks of his film.
03:54So I had the courage.
03:56I said to myself that Chopra, if you try one more time,
04:00He told me something he had found in the studio.
04:08So luckily Homie Seithna saw there.
04:13He went there in 5 minutes on the scooter.
04:16I saw him reach the door.
04:18And Bera Adun Express, third class ticket.
04:24So that film was a documentary about Gungu Tehli, which was the purpose of Khadi.
04:33I was awarded a $1,000.
04:40I was awarded the rest of my $130.
04:47So they were happy that I was awarded the $1,000.
04:54So I thought that people were genuine.
05:00But then there was something that in the studio,
05:07Roshunlal Malhotra, who was a very big advisor for the film industry,
05:13a producer,
05:15Mr. Rajan was a hero of his little brother.
05:19He was making a film called Earth and Earth.
05:23So I saw that Rajan was very frustrated.
05:27I said, Rajan, what happened?
05:29He said, I said,
05:31Aishok Kumar, whom we say respect, love and love,
05:37that it was very difficult for them.
05:39They got their date.
05:41They got their date, but I didn't like it.
05:44I said, I don't have to get the writer's phone.
05:46I said, I'll do what I'll do.
05:48I said, I'll look at the writer's phone.
05:50He said, I'll look at the writer's phone.
05:52I told him, I've been 20-25 minutes.
05:54He was frustrated.
05:55Then he said, I'll do what I'll do.
05:57He told me,
05:59That's when we were going to leave.
06:01Then I asked him,
06:03I said, Rajan, what is the scene?
06:05I'll write it.
06:07He said, I'll write it.
06:09He said, I'll write it.
06:11I said, look, what's going on, your shooting is going on.
06:19He said, okay, listen to his dialogue.
06:21I said, don't listen to his dialogue, give me a situation.
06:25So Rajan Sahib gave me a situation
06:29and there is a problem for me.
06:32When I came to the situation, I came to the scene,
06:36I said, there is a scene, there is a scene.
06:38There is a scene, there is a scene, there is a scene.
06:41My concentration is still there.
06:44So I wrote a scene.
06:47Rajan Sahib listened to something.
06:50Nothing happened.
06:52He came inside from the audience.
06:56And ten minutes later, he ran away, ran away, ran away.
07:00I said, Manoj, Manoj, Manoj.
07:03I said, what's going on, Rajan?
07:05Dadamuni is calling, I mean Shokkumar Sahib is calling.
07:09I went to the house and I went to the house.
07:13And Dadamuni Sahib saw me at the top of the house.
07:17I said, did you write this scene?
07:21I said, yes.
07:22Did you write this scene in 5 minutes?
07:24I said, yes.
07:26I wrote this scene.
07:27I wrote this scene.
07:28But why are you writing?
07:31You are a hero.
07:32I said, yes.
07:33I said, yes.
07:34I've come to the house.
07:35I said, I'm going to the house.
07:36I said, I'm going to the house.
07:38So in the evening of his shooting,
07:41Rajan Sahib made me a face.
07:43He was a friend of mine.

07:47He was a friend of mine.
07:49He was a friend of mine.
07:52I said, I'm going to the house.
07:53Then in a week in the studio, there was no producer that would be a scene and write it down and give it to 11 rupees.
08:05I, my friend Son Lal Komer, and I also had a house in the house.
08:09We had to drink a lot, juice, and sometimes we had to drink a cigarette.
08:17Then after that, my husband had some films in Sahara in five scenes with Meena Kumari-ji, which was also the hero of M. Lajan.
08:29Then after that, my husband had a film of Meena-ji and Balraai-Shani, which was also the film of Meena-ji and Balraai-Shani.
08:37There were some scenes, there was nothing to create.
08:40But in the studio, there was a film of Meena-ji and Balraai-ji, which was a big star.
08:53He was watching me, and then he called me.
08:58Where did he go?
