Shabana used to ignore me

Due to this reason distance was maintained
Jugal Hansraj further said that he was so innocent that he could not understand why she did this to him. He said, “Later I found out that this was a part of Shabana ji’s process. She did not want us to come close because the coldness that was there should have been visible on the screen. Everyone should have felt that there was a discomfort between me and my mother, so she did it very beautifully.

Shabana was the step mother in the film
Let us tell you that Shabana Azmi played the role of Indu Malhotra in the film Masoom. Jugal Hansraj was seen as his step son Rahul Malhotra. At that time Jugal was a child artist.
