Talking about the same with The Times Of India, Aruna Irani said, "I had worked with a majority of film actors and there is no specific actor whom I would like to name, as everyone was extremely nice to work with. I even enjoyed working with Sanju (Sanjay Dutt). I played his mother in his debut film and seduced him in his next film (laughs). I still don't understand how people used to accept it in those times and even now."

She revealed how their meeting started with lots of fights wherein she recalled, "We met each other during one of the films that we worked on together. During that film, he used to make all the other actors wait till Dharmendra ji arrived on sets to start the shoot. And I used to get very angry at him as I was too working on some other films at that time. So we started with a love and hate relationship. I used to get very upset with him and he used to console me. Uss Chakkar Mein Kaise Lafda Ho Gaya Samajh Nahi Aya (Don't know how we fell for each other due to that)."

Aruna Irani furthermore added that she did not know about Kiku Kohli's first wife and kids. The Khel Khel Mein actress said, "He even didn't tell me that he was married when we met and that's how I fell in love with him. So it didn't look good to speak about our relationship as he was married already with a wife and daughters. Now I am talking about it because his first wife passed away a few months back."
