Mr Prem Chopra ..My Mentor And Guide, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Many years back I am sure Mr Prem Chopra must have forgotten too, lived at Usha Sadan Colaba early 60s , and would pass our house at Khatau Bhuvan Wodehouse Road.. his neighbor those struggling days of yore was Mr Jeetendra.

Mr Prem Chopras house those days was bang opposite my old school Private European School and we would admire him , and watch him from far at Victory Wafers.

Than time bought me in touch with Prem Saab in the 80s and till date it has been a very long association , I have watched his children grow ,and I have the highest regards for these well bought up highly cultured polished ladies now all happily married ..and they have always respected me too, and today one of my grand daughter Zinnia Fatima goes to Mr Prem Chopras daughter's play school, one of the best in Bandra.

I served Pran Sab and Prem Sab.. both original get up masters ..Mr Prem Chopra loved working on the look of his filmy characters , and I fleshed then in the best sartorial way.

And working with Dannyji Shaktiji added to the experience ..of the top villains of Bollywood,.

I worked with Mr Keith Stevenson too in Akela ...both the looks .

Mr Prem Chopra is a great host, and his tips and his vast wisdom experience his love for Urdu, he writes in Urdu reads his dialogues in Urdu..well versed with the nuances of this unique poets script and language.

Mr Prem Chopra was the first person to call and congratulate me for my short cameo as a kinky photographer of a Bollywood model studio in Mr Raj Kumar Santoshis Phata Poster Nikla Hero.
