A section of Aamir Khan's production Rubaru Roshni — which aired on television on January 26 — is in stark contrast with the rest of the film. Showcasing a mediator who steps in to heal the families of a victim and her convict in the second of the trio of stories, Swami Sadanand is captured, sharing anecdotes on life, in a rather unsteady frame that sees him moving in and out of it, constantly. Director Svati Chakravarty Bhatkal reveals that the shots that made it to the final edit weren't, in fact, meant to be there.

"I had been to his ashram and done a recce with him on a handy camera. We were to do a proper shoot soon, but he got a heart attack. So, we decided that we'd take the film forward with him at a more suitable time. But, two days before I was to meet him, he had passed away," says Bhatkal of the man who played a vital role in her story of forgiveness.
