He expressed: “I am so thrilled to reconnect with Madhu ji today. We worked together in a film where she played the lead role alongside me. That film was ‘Elaan’, and we also did ‘Zaalim’. I am genuinely delighted. It has been around 20 years since I last saw her.”
Akshay remarked that she remains unchanged.
“I see you, and it feels like you haven't aged a bit. You look just the same. I even told her it seems like she must sleep in the fridge at night!”
