On the day that it was released...
I was invited to a media college and they wanted me to speak to their students.
So there was a boy waiting at the gate of the college to escort me inside the hall.
And there was a picture of me in the afternoon papers.
The story was that this film is being released and people are watching, you know, it's supposed to be written by Mr. Kamlesh Pandey.
So this boy, he hugged me and said, thank you, sir, for giving me Rande Basanti.
I was thrilled.
I immediately rang up Rakesh.
Rakesh, I got one.
My job is done.
I got one.
Then there were 200 boys and girls waiting outside the hall of the college, waiting to go inside.
And they heard him shout.
So they came rushing.
What is happening?
He said, he is the writer of Rang De Basanti.
So they mobbed me, literally mobbed me.
And after that, it almost became a kind of routine.
Wherever they saw me, the same lines.
Thank you, sir, for giving us Rang De Basanti.
