“Jab main chhoti thi, I think Zeenat aunty, you may remember, Pukar ki shooting Goa mein chal rahi thi. Mere papa bhi film mein the, aur Amit ji, Zeenat aunty aur Tina aunty bhi the. Toh dopahar ko climax ki shooting hoti thi, toh mere papa wahan jaate the. Aur subah ek gaane ki shooting chal rahi thi Amit ji aur Zeenat aunty ki. They were shooting for song 'Samundar Mein Nahake'. And I was such a fan! I was so awestruck by Zeenat aunty ki main roz subah-subah 7 baje beach pahunch jaati thi shooting dekhne,” Karisma said.
(Zeenat aunty, you may remember that you were shooting for Pukar in Goa. I was a kid. My father was in a key role. Zeenat aunty and Tina aunty were there. During the climax shoot in the afrternoon, my father used to be there. In the morning, the song 'Samundar Mein Nahake' was being shot and Amit ji and Zeenat aunty were part of it. And I was such a fan! I was so awestruck by Zeenat aunty. I used to rush to the beach at 7am during the shoot, daily.)
She recalled that her mother, Babita, was not pleased with her early-morning trips to the beach.
Babita Was Upset With Karisma’s Early-Morning Trips
Karisma said her mother would question why she was leaving so early, but the young actress was determined to see Zeenat during the shoot.
“Toh meri mummy thoda upset ho jaati thi, ‘Kyun ja rahe ho?’ karke (My mother used to get upset as I was stubborn to see Zeenat Ma'am's shoot). I was like, ‘Nahi, I have to see Zeenat Aman! Woh paani mein dance kar rahi hain!’ So, I have such beautiful memories of seeing you during the shoot of the film 'Pukar'. I think it was a great honour that I got to see that,” she recalled.
