In an interview with Rajshri Productions, Joshi recalled the shooting days and how excited he was to share the screen with Madhuri Dixit. “I am a huge fan of Madhuri Ji, I was quite excited to work with her. On the first day of the shoot, I got ready before the call time. It was a fan moment when I saw her stepping down the stairs in the cricket costume and she crossed me. It was a surreal feeling to see her live,” he shared.

He also said that director Sooraj Barjatya introduced him to Madhuri Dixit as a 'renowned artist from the Gujarati industry'. He added, “It was so sweet of him to listen to me while shooting the film with such big artists. He asked his assistant to bring the script and my schedule. He saw it and asked me if I can give him my entire day and a few hours the next morning just for some close-up shots. He adjusted everything by going out of his way and without making any fuss. He has such a helpful nature.”

Then, talking about with working Salman Khan, Joshi recalled, “During the film’s schedule in Filmistaan, I shared a room with Salman Khan. He never objected to me being in his room. He was very cooperative and threw no tantrums. it was fun working with him.”

Hum Aapke Hain Koun was released in 1994 and was the remake of Nadiya Ke Paar.
