Narrating an interesting incident while filming Bobby Jasoos, she stated: “I was sitting at a Hyderabad station in the robe of a beggar with moustaches and a beard and asked for alms from a female passerby.

On the way back we stopped by a hotdog stall and spent several minutes explaining our profiles of a movie director and the actress to the boy who served Aziz burger as I don’t eat meet for I am a vegetarian. But both of us were vastly embarrassed as we had no money. The boy was kind enough to let us go but I rushed to the hotel, took money out of my pursed and only returned once I had paid him.” Wrapping up the discussion she told listeners to stay happy and blessed.
