Quotes
Farooq Sheikh
Actor who portrayed Nawab Sultan in the film Umrao Jaan
“Rekha ji was a big star so big crowds of people would come to see her. Somehow people came to know that we were going to shoot a romantic scene. The rooms in that house were very small, there would be a lot of rooms but all of them were tiny. One room would hardly fit Rekha ji, me and the camera crew and technicians.”
