'Rishi Kapoor was excited to talk about Yash Chopra and his legacy'
During the interview, Smriti shared her memories of shooting with Rish Kapoor.

Smriti revealed that they shot the interview a month before he passed away. She also said that Rishi ji was excited to talk about Yash Chopra. She went on to call it a 'memorable interview'.
Ask her how her interaction with the legendary actor was, and she says, "It was such an amazing special interview. It was filmed I think just about a month before he passed away. He obviously had health problems but to see him that day when we shot his interview, you would never expect that we would lose in just a short month or six weeks. He looked amazing, he wore this amazing purple suit and he looked good and healthy. He was excited to talk and he just was so generous with his time and you could sense that he...maybe it's because we were talking about Yash Chopra and the golden days but you could tell that he was excited to reminisce on his legacy, on Yash Chopra's legacy. It was really one of the most memorable interviews I have done."
