I would tremble and pray not to forget my dialogues in front of him … and look silly. He was always kind, but a little detached.

In elaborating on Rishi’s behavior on sets during those days, Juhi added: “Every day he worked 2 shifts mainly, moving from studio to studio and always on time. He had his own moment and stayed on it, I don’t recall seeing no tantrum, he was super efficient with work and effortless. My first memory of my first days working with him was … that actresses take longer to get dressed so that he arrives early at the filming location, and by 10 am he is absolutely That was the time that Chintuji was going to arrive, he was coming, most of the time he sat outside under a tree and put on makeup … Shashi since his makeup artist would have set up a tidy table with all the material of makeup … and a small transistor radio that turned on while doing makeup … since I would be ready or doing my solo shots, sometimes I would sit close and watch … Shashi dada was careful Only the Chintuji mark above, do the outline of the features, the radio would play songs … after a while … Shashi Dada would say it is well done … impatiently Chintuji would take the sponge … rub it on face. . !! … the pink of the cheeks rubbed along with the brown of the chisel … and everything would be confused on his face … !!! Chintuji would scramble or comb his hair and say it’s okay … I’m ready! … I would laugh and laugh because Chintuji had just undone all of Dadas’s efforts … !!! And Chintuji did this every time …! ”
Chintuji also had the largest tallest mirror in history. Before each shot, Dada raised the mirror for Chintuji to check himself … and Chintuji jokingly said: I’m not only checking myself, I’m also checking the background, making sure everything is fine …! … as time went by, we made a few more movies, and Bol Radha Bol, Eena Meena Deeka, Saajan Ka Ghar, and a few others … Now Chintuji would bring a Scrabble board … Now he was a little more confident and Glad myself … I’d take on the challenge … … every time there was a break from filming, the Scrabble board would come out and the championships were underway … !! … I played very well, but he was too good, 9 out of 10 times he beat me … but it wasn’t me who gave up … He kept trying to win. … !!! It was a great joy, “he added.
Juhi also revealed that Rishi was upset with people who asked the stars to click on the photos with their children. “Chintuji would be angry with the fans who came to watch shooting with young children, and who pushed their screams in front of us and said,” Hamare bacche ko aapke saath photo leni hai. “Chintuji would tell us how people do this, their children are scared, they have no idea who we are and their parents instead of saying, please, that we can have a picture with you, torment your children. He came up with a trick, when one of those people would come and start saying : “Sir, please, I can.” Chintuji with a serious face begins to speak formidable English sentences of high sound but without sense. And then with a serious face conclude .. ‘did you understand ..?! ????’. ..The unfortunate fanatic would now be completely confused, stunned, stuttering and running for his life …! As usual, he was somewhere, laughing at my sides.
