Urvashi Rautela shared her memory with the legendary actor Rishi during Sanam Re Movie – This is the end of an era. During Sanam Re, I was extremely scared and nervous to meet legendary Rishi Kapoor sir as it was day 1 of my second film. I just couldn’t handle the fact that I was going to work with such a superstar n kept quite & highly strung even while meeting him in shimla😟. Thanks to Divya mam I’m Blessed to have witnessed that legacy and true greatness. The charisma you brought to everything you did was pure fascination. Rest in Peace sir 😟🙏💔
