In her note, Saira Banu wrote, “Sahib's artistic union with Subhash Ghai not only resulted in cinematic triumphs but also solidified their close bond, reflecting the impact of their creative journey together.”
Speaking about how Dilip Kumar and Subhash Ghai became friends, Saira Banu explained: “During the 80s, along with a well-known film distributor, R.N Mandre, Subhash Ji had flown to Bangalore with the hope and desire of narrating his recent script to Sahib. The moment of their initial encounter was charged with a blend of nervous anticipation as Subhash Ji stood face-to-face with Dilip Sahib for the very first time. After having a long conversation about the happenings of the country, Subhash Ji finally had the fortune to unfold his narrative before Sahib. Dilip Sahib and Subhash Ji shared a bond that was filled with brotherhood, knowledge-seeking, and compassion. Subhash Ji's journey with Sahib resulted in three impactful films that left a lasting mark on the industry, and one such movie was Karma (1986).”
