“We call each other mamu, toh maine usko bola, ‘Mamu, toh mujhe tere peeth par chadhne de na’ (I told him let me hop on your back as things are not going too well for me currently). So, then he remembered that, and a couple of years later, I got a phone call from him, and he said, ‘Mamu shirt utarega, I said haan mamu main kuch bhi karunga’ (he asked me if I would remove my shirt for the film, and I said yes to it). So, that's how I got Race 3”.
