Rehan
Khan
tells
this
correspondent
that
contrary
to
the
notion,
both
Nana
Patekar
and
Dimple
were
not
temperamental
but
professional,
patient
and
prepared
on
the
sets.
You
had
made
your
debut
with
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love.
Didn"t
you?
I
would
not
say
that
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love
was
my
debut
film,
because
it
was
made
by
my
father
in
just
a
meager
budget
of
seventy
five
lakhs.
I
would
say
that
it
was
the
first
film
for
which
I
had
faced
the
camera
as
an
actor.
It
was
a
wonderful
experience
for
me
to
work
with
senior
actors
like
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Zeenat
Aman
and
learn
a
lot
about
the
craft
at
such
a
raw
age,
in
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love.
How
did
you
bag
the
offer
to
act
in
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi?
To
be
honest,
I
was
signed
by
producer
Nikhil
Panchamiya
to
do
another
film.
When
the
film
did
not
materialize,
I
volunteered
to
go
through
an
audition
when
he
told
me
that
he
was
planning
to
launch
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi.
I
auditioned
and
was
selected
for
the
part.
What
is
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi
about?
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi
is
actually
my
third
film
as
an
actor,
if
you
exclude
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love.
I
would
count
Fast
Forward
as
my
first
film
and
Click
as
my
second.
It
is
a
humorous
film
with
a
message
that
to
be
honest
to
others
you
have
got
to
be
honest
to
yourself
and
there
is
no
right
way
to
do
anything
wrong.
How
would
you
describe
your
role
in
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi?
In
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi,
I
play
the
role
of
Bikramjeet
Singh,
who
comes
from
a
border
town
near
Delhi,
whose
father
is
an
ex
army
officer,
who
wants
his
son
to
join
the
army
even
though
the
son
wants
to
do
a
course
is
mass
communications,
by
migrating
to
Mumbai.
It
is
about
how
though
he
realizes
that
life
is
very
fast
in
Mumbai,
Bikramjeet
does
not
give
up
his
goal.
How
did
you
prepare
to
get
into
the
skin
of
your
character
in
the
film?
Let
me
confess
that
I
could
relate
a
lot
with
my
character
in
real
life
too
because
I
too
am
honest
towards
work
like
Bikramjeet
in
the
film.
I
too
love
my
parents
and
do
not
give
up
easily.
Kabir
Sadananand,
who
has
directed
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi,
wanted
me
to
put
on
a
little
weight
and
learn
to
speak
Hindi
with
a
Haryanvi
accent
and
in
general
look
sweet
to
play
my
part
in
the
film.
To
know
how
a
boy
who
is
in
the
army
would
walk
and
talk
and
behave
in
general,
I
made
it
a
point
to
watch
a
lot
of
films
with
an
army
backdrop
like
An
Officer
and
A
Gentleman,
a
Tom
Cruise
film
whose
title
I
do
not
remember,
a
Steven
Spielberg"s
film,
besides
Saving
Private
Ryan.
To
be
honest
was
by
itself
a
sort
of
preparation
for
me
as
an
actor.
In
what
way
did
Kabir
help
you
as
a
director?
Kabir
gave
me
a
lot
of
time
to
get
into
the
grove
of
my
character.
He
conducted
a
workshop
for
almost
a
month
only
for
me.
Kabir
told
me
that
my
character
was
his
favourite
one.
Work
became
easier
for
me
because
Kabir
is
also
young
like
me.
I
should
also
confess
that
work
became
easier
for
me
because
Kabir
is
also
young
like
me.
Why
did
you
accept
a
film
like
Click
which
did
not
click
for
you?
I
know
I
did
not
have
any
major
role
in
Sangeet
Sivan"s
Click
since
it
was
an
out
and
out
Shreyas
Talpade
oriented
film
where
he
had
the
major
chunk
of
work
besides
Sada
and
Sneha
Ullal.
I
did
the
film
honestly
because
I
was
desperate
for
work,
especially
since
I
was
sitting
at
home
after
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love
proved
to
be
a
debacle
at
the
box
office.
Do
you
agree
that
it
was
a
mistake
on
your
part
to
have
done
Click?
I
realized
that
it
was
a
mistake
on
my
part
to
have
done
an
insignificant
cameo
role
in
a
film
like
Click
only
after
I
received
the
offer
to
act
in
Anjum
Rizvi"s
Fast
Forward
in
which
my
co-actors
were
Bhavana
Pani
and
Akshay
Kapoor.
Yet
I
would
not
say
that
it
I
regret
having
done
the
film
because
honestly
I
had
total
faith
in
Sangeet
Sivan
and
hence
I
took
the
risk
and
even
today
I
stand
by
him,
though
the
film
flopped
at
the
box
office,
like
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love
and
Fast
Forward.
To
what
extent
have
you
evolved
as
an
actor
from
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love
to
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi?
I
should
say
that
from
the
time
that
I
had
faced
the
camera
for
the
first
time
for
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love
to
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi,
it
has
been
a
fantastic
growth
for
me
as
an
actor.
When
I
recently
watched
myself
in
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi,
I
felt
that
all
these
struggles
as
far
as
I
am
concerned
has
indeed
paid
off.
I
am
of
the
opinion
that
if
any
one
works
hard
and
believes
in
his
or
her
dream
and
does
not
give
up,
he
or
she
would
really
succeed
in
realizing
his
or
her
dream
and
face
big
time
in
life,
come
rain
come
shine.
What
went
wrong
with
all
the
films
which
you
did
till
now?
When
a
film
of
yours
does
not
do
well
at
the
box
office,
everything
is
wrong
with
it.
I
cannot
pinpoint.
May
be
the
films
that
I
set
out
to
do
were
not
good.
An
actor
has
to
take
all
kinds
of
films
in
his
stride
and
move
on.
It
is
as
simple
as
that.
Today
even
the
biggest
of
the
corporate
companies
make
films,
which
do
not
click.
I
believe
that
you
get
just
one
life.
Hits
and
flops
keep
on
coming
and
going.
You
cannot
stop
living
because
your
career
is
not
hot
and
happening.
I
have
been
strong
enough
to
reach
wherever
I
have
reached
and
hope
I
reach
further
as
an
actor.
What
did
you
learn
from
your
failures?
You
learn
with
both
success
as
well
as
failure.
I
have
learnt
a
lot
from
failures.
I
tasted
failure
from
a
very
early
stage
in
life.
I
lost
my
father,
the
late
Shahrukh
Mirza,
who
was
the
director,
who
had
launched
Inder
Kumar
and
Isha
koppikkar.
If
he
were
alive
today,
my
career
would
have
charted
an
entirely
different
course.
How
difficult
was
it
to
work
with
Nana
Patekar
and
Dimple
Kapadia?
Contrary
to
the
notion,
both
Nana
Patekar
and
Dimple
were
not
at
all
temperamental.
In
fact,
on
the
sets
I
was
the
most
spoilt
brat.
Both
Nana
and
Dimple
were
not
only
prepared
and
professional
but
also
very
patient
with
their
co-actors,
because
they
are
seasoned
performers.
Is
it
true
that
you
do
not
have
any
film
on
hand
after
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi?
Yes.
I
have
survived
for
four
years
in
this
industry
after
the
release
of
Jaana
Lets
Fall
in
Love
which
was
released
way
back
in
2006.
I
have
no
other
film
on
hand
as
of
now
after
Tum
Milo
Toh
Sahi
but
I
do
not
panic
because
I
feel
that
life
itself
is
a
big
risk.
