Speaking about the incident Waheeda Rehman said, Sunil Dutt was quite unwell post his padayatra and was admitted to the hospital. She said, ” I went to meet Sunil Dutt who was in the ICU and as per the rules only one person could go inside. So I went inside and wished him also asked about his health. But as he looked at me he was in a state of shock. So I asked him what happened. To which he said, ‘What have you done?’ I thought he was asking why I came in, so told him that I took permission and came. He said, ‘I am not talking about that I am speaking about your hair’. Why did you colour your hair white? I replied, ‘Sunil I have not coloured it white instead stopped colouring it black’ they are actually white.’

“One day, Nirupa Roy, me and Nargis Dutt were sitting outside and eating some guavas. Suddenly Sunil came and said, ‘Mrs Dutt, Waheedaji, Nirupaji come on get up fast and come with me’. A commander came and told us to go back to the camp and stay inside the tent till he comes to call us out. Till then do not step out. He further added that if you hear one bullet being fired then stand still, if you hear a second bullet being fired then hide under the bed’. It so happened that the BSF soldiers were on the lookout from the treetops. They saw some seven to eight dacoits were seen crossing the river and passing close to our camp. If they had turned towards our camp then our whole unit was there.” Waheedaji added.
