Following the performance, Kapoor reminisces about his initial reluctance to accept the role of Nandu due to its distinct nature and his predominant casting in negative roles. However, Govinda’s persuasion led him to embrace the role, which eventually fetched him a nomination for a Filmfare Award.
Kapoor continues the tale, sharing his initial hesitance to attend the award function and his feeling of inevitable disappointment. His family encouraged him to attend, and amid the award announcements, his mother anxiously wondered why his name hadn’t been called yet.
To the joy and relief of everyone, especially Kapoor himself, he was announced as the winner of the best comedian category. This victory, he says, saved his mother from leaving with a broken heart.
