Diving into personal anecdotes, Somi recalled her debut jitters on the set of ‘Dil Tera Aashiq’. Sanjay’s gentle encouragement turned her anxiety into excitement, showcasing his innate ability to uplift others. ‘No arrogance, just pure respect for everyone around him,’ she noted.

In her words, Sanjay enters any space without dominating it, instead fostering an environment where colleagues feel valued and important. This quality, rare among top stars, earned him Somi’s highest regard as one of the most polite actors in the industry.

Their professional journey together spanned multiple films in the 90s, a time when Sanjay’s box-office dominance was unmatched. Yet, his grounded approach never wavered, treating spot boys with the same courtesy as leading ladies.

Somi’s endorsement underscores a timeless truth in showbiz: true greatness lies in modesty. As Sanjay Dutt’s career evolves, such stories keep his legacy rooted in authenticity and warmth.

Their films together were always eagerly anticipated. One notable film, ‘Dil Tera Aashiq,’ was released 32 years ago on October 22, 1993. The movie was directed by Lawrence D’Souza and featured a stellar cast including Salman Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Anupam Kher, Shakti Kapoor, and Kader Khan.

During the launch of the title track of ‘Dil Tera Aashiq,’ an amusing incident unfolded, causing laughter among the attendees. The event included the film’s star cast, as well as singer Alka Yagnik and veteran actor Dharmendra. While the title song was being launched, Dharmendra was interacting with the audience and answering their questions.

Dharmendra praised Madhuri Dixit, calling her ‘our world-class Madhuri Dixit.’ However, when he attempted to compliment Salman, he mistakenly referred to him as ‘their son, Suleiman.’ This remark triggered laughter from the audience. Realizing his error, Dharmendra immediately corrected himself and apologized to Salman.

Salman Khan, however, quickly stopped Dharmendra from apologizing and embraced him. The songs from ‘Dil Tera Aashiq’ were well-received by the audience. The lyrics were written by Sameer, and the film, produced by Rakesh Nath, performed well commercially. The title song, ‘Dil Tera Aashiq,’ featured the voices of Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu.
