“He got to know that the National Awards were announced. I have never seen somebody get so excited, so happy for me. He stood up on those pool-deck chairs. He started shouting, “Main National Award winner ke saath kaam kar raha hoon”. I was also crazy. Rishi Sir said, “Both of you have gone crazy. You have lost your minds”. Sushant hugged me. I started crying.”
