The director said, “‘Aamir, there is no time, and the writer is not here. Let’s do the scene.’ Aamir replied, ‘I am not satisfied with the scene, but ok lets do’.” Mushtaq continued, “But he was not satisfied. At 6 pm there was pack up and when I reached home, I got a call from Aamir Khan.”

The actor said that Aamir requested him to review the improvised lines, but Mushtaq suggested that he send the script to his house through a courier. Mushtaq shared that he had waited until midnight, thinking the scene might need to be postponed to the next day since nobody had come to deliver the script. However, just 10 minutes later, the doorbell rang. Upon opening the door, a man informed him that Aamir was waiting in the car along with the film’s writer, downstairs.

Mushtaq, who was living in a one-room-kitchen back then, invited Aamir inside, mentioning that his kids were asleep. Despite this, Aamir chose not to disturb them, instead opting to stand under a street lamp and read the revised script with him.

Mushtaq and Aamir also collaborated for films like Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke and Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin among others.
