I didn’t work with Sridevi until 1984, when we first starred in Nagina. I told her, “Sridevi, you danced very well.” She smiled and said, “thank you”. She could be quiet and be in her own mood, and then suddenly do a great comic scenes or tragic one. The complete ‘Cogniac sharaab nahi hoti’ sequence was improvised by Sridevi, Yashi ji and me; it was never a part of the script. I missed her for the last 20 years because we didn’t get to work together after that film.
