The famed villain stated, “Shararti zyada nahi the (as a kid), lekin yeh kissa tha – I had a friend, his father used to smoke cigars. So he had a cigar and he brought another cigar for me and the two of us were great friends. (I wasn’t a naughty kid but yes this incident did happen)”

The veteran actor continued, “Shimla is known for a lot of fog and we were like ‘kash laga rahe hai’. (Achanak) dhekha do shakhs waha se aarahe hai. Humne pehchana nahi, toh, ‘kon hai yaar yeh dono kon aarahe hai’. Nazdeek aaye toh pata laga ki ek mere father the aur durse uska father the. (We were taking drags. Suddenly we saw two people making their way through the fog. We didn’t recognize who they were and were wondering, Who are these guys? When they came near, it turned out to be our fathers.)”

Talking about his father slapping him, Prem Chopra said, “Toh unhone kaha, ‘Yeh kya hai?’ Toh maine bataya, ‘Yeh isine diya hai mujhe.’ Toh thappad maara waha par. (When questioned, I threw my friend under the bus for providing the cigars. My father then slapped me).”
