Punam and Shatrughan Sinha |
Santoshi, currently in the process of completing his latest film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, met the couple and offered them the roles. Punam was an actress, several decades ago. Besides Sabak with her husband, she also acted in other successful films like Jigri Dost with Jeetendra before quitting the scene to marry Shotgun.
She made a comeback as Hrithik Roshan's mother in Jodhaa-Akbar. She says, "I had no intention of returning. But Ashutosh Gowariker insisted that he saw me in the role continuously as he wrote the script. Now I'd do a film only when something really special comes along."
Special chanceIt can't get any more special than a chance to share screen space with her husband, Shatru who confirms that he and Punam have indeed been approached to act together, "Yes, Santoshi whose work I really admire, did come home to meet both of us.
And I'm looking forward to working with him. I like his work, including Halla Bol."
On Thursday, the couple celebrated 29 years of marriage. It was a subdued affair. Just close family and friends were invited over for dinner.
