"I
think
they're
too
much
in
a
shock.
Aisa
kabhi
hua
nahi
hai.
Whenever
a
shocking
thing
happens,
it's
a
very
very
strange
reaction.
Like
ab
Sholay
bani
thi,
yeh
mujhe
Ramesh
Sippy
ji
ne
khud
bataya,
toh
pehle
teen
week
chali
hi
nahi
qki
logon
ko
samajh
nahi
aaya
ki
Hindustan
me
aisi
film
bhi
ban
sakti
hai.
Pehle
teen
week,
it
was
declared
a
flop,
but
then
it
became
a
cult
film.
Hum
Aapke
Hain
Kaun,
premiere
huwa
tha
toh
the
industry
was
saying,
'Oh
my
God!
Yeh
kya
banaya
diya
hai,
yeh
toh
shaadi
ka
video
hai'.
But
it
turned
out
to
be
the
biggest
grosser."
