Speaking at the event, Akshay said:
“I am so happy to meet Madhu ji today. I did a film with her. She played my lead role in Elaan… We also did Zaalim together. I am very, very happy. I think I am meeting her after 20 years or so.”
He also humorously remarked that she looks the same even after all these years:
“I told her, aisa lagta hai bilkul change nahi hai. Aisa lagta hai, raat ko fridge mein jaake soh jati hai.” (It seems she goes into the fridge at night to sleep.)
