Malvika portrayed the role of ‘Pooja’, a docile younger sister, to Kajol’s character, ‘Anjali’. During the first half of the film, the audience were treated to many fond scenes between Malvika and Kajol, which are recalled even today. Speaking along the same lines, Malvika, in one of her interviews with Filmfare, recalled her childhood shooting experience with Kajol and mentioned:
“The first shot was Kajol’s entry where she yells, “Jeet gaye”. We were sitting in that halwai shop and I was getting ready. I love watching myself in the mirror. There were three boys who were always with me in the film. One of them was holding my mirror in front of me and while they were setting the shot, I kept asking the boy to hold the mirror properly. Karan liked it so much, he asked me to do that in my first shot for the film.”
We wish Malvika all the love and light for her new beginnings!
