I am glad I got to be part of such a historic film, she says and pauses to think. And then adds, The movie is still popular and that's great. It also means that for as long as people remember the film, I will also be there in their memories. That's special. And of course, it is not just Sholay but people also remember me for Seeta Aur Geeta. When I am in the U.S., I love travelling in cabs. And there have been times when Russian cab drivers recognised me and hummed a few tunes from the movie!
