He seems to have a good memory, as he could recall some of his better parts even 20 years later after he had left stage-acting. On seeing his dialogue "Oh", he was angered and decided to abandon the film-scene. But he remembered his mentor Gogon Pakrashi's advice and went ahead to shoot the scene. He put up a lot of efforts and perfection to shoot the scene exactly in the desired way. Everyone around the scene commended his short act of just colliding with Chanchal Kumar, the hero. He believed that immense dedication and satisfaction was much more than the payment for acting, and left for home without being paid for his acting.
