"In 1976, I had performed in a Filmfare function award function and that night at 2 am, we got a call on the landline. My father picked up. It was Dilip Saab who asked to speak to me. I will never forget that moment when he told me that he had enjoyed the dance performance and I remember his words clearly “ Tum apne dance keliye jaane jaoge”. I didn’t know what he meant then but in 2005, when Supriya and I won Nach Baliye, I remembered his words. This gesture from a legend like him is something I will always cherish," he added. and in the end, he shared his condolences and disappointment of losing a versatile actor.
