Quotes
Mumtaz
Veteran actress and co-star of Dharmendra
“Yes, I went to the hospital. When I went there, I was told that doctors have said that he is on a ventilator – 'Aap kya dekhengi unko?' I just said that I would just like to see his glimpse. So, I went inside, saw him, he was looking good at that time as well, while lying down.”

“I didn’t go for the last rites. I wouldn’t have been able to see his mortal remains. When Dev sahab passed away… his hotel was near my house and many people rang the bell to call me to meet him, but I said no. He was such a chirpy and lively person, he taught me everything.”
