The actor can’t believe it’s been 35 years, and shares the memories of her first film with SCREEN in an exclusive interview. “My first movie released four days before my 17th birthday. So, I was straight out of school. I went to junior college for a few days, and then I was straight on the set of Prem Qaidi. I do remember the mahurat shot also.
