He had seen me on a Subhash Ghai film’s set where I had just gone to see the shoot. Maybe he thought that I wanted to be an actor, although I had nothing in mind about getting into films then . So, when Tujhe Meri Kasam was being made, he recomenmended me for the film . He was the cinematographer for the film which launched my carrer”.
