Sharing an old interview of Bollywood Hungama, she said, "I remember that was the first song I had shot in my life. I remember we were shooting in Igatpuri and it was some 5 degrees Celsius. Shah Rukh Khan was wearing jackets and thermals inside and I was wearing this thin saree. I was doing that shot ‘Bheega bheega aanchal’ and I was like freezing. I was not able to lip-sync.”

Recalling watching the film in theatre amid fans and how they reacted to her death scene, she added, “My friend said ‘you have to go to the theatre and watch it’. People were whistling and cheering during ‘Kitabein Bahut Si’ and all that. I was watching and enjoying it. I was wearing two pigtails and a cap because I didn’t want people to recognize me.” She said that people in front were convinced that she would get up because was hot.

Directed by Abbas-Mustan, Baazigar released in 1993. The film starred Dilip Tahil, Raakhee, Siddharth Ray, and Johnny Lever.
