Ever since I was old enough to understand films, I was keen
to see 'Usne Kaha Tha'. One of the reasons was that my father was doing something different for
a change, he was playing the heroine’s(Nanda) husband. All I had seen him do was
either play the villain or the father and usually not the affectionate father
that he was in real life. There were a few films where he did play the affectionate
father but they were more the exception rather than the rule. The other reason being, my father
was brought back from the jaws of death by the film’s hero (Sunil Dutt).
