- Shah recalls taking the mother role at 28 opposite an Akshay Kumar who was more than five years older.
- She says Amitabh Bachchan recommended her, while Vipul Amrutlal Shah warned it would misfire before she convinced him by aging her look with powder.
- The casting choice, she says, led to her being offered only older characters, prompting a period when she declined work.
- She states she does not regret Waqt but would not play mother to a male superstar in his 60s today.
- With Delhi Crime 3 streaming on Netflix, she is earning strong appreciation and says rewatching Waqt now would embarrass her.
