"Two of our team Sanjeev Kumar and Amjad Khan we have lost. Time waits for no one... But time also acknowledges the wait," he said, adding: "Dharamji and Hemaji live behind my house... Dharamji on the lane behind my back wall, and Hemaji a few feet further away, and we never get to meet each other.

"How strange that we had to meet and get together at an event."
The song "Aji suniye to zaraa" in the album has been sung by the actor-filmmaker-MP Hema Malini with singer Babul Supriyo, who is also its composer. A line of the track has the lyrics "Big B se leke paaji", hinting at Amitabh and Dharmendra, who are lovingly called Big B and Dharam paaji in industry circuits.

At the launch of the album by Saregama, Hema Malini said: "Art and entertainment is what keeps me going; it is a part of me now. I had not explored my singing talent before and I am therefore very excited to showcase this side of me to the audience. Hope they continue to shower their love on me as they have done over the past years."
