/> Writer-director Reema Rakesh Nath, wife of Madhur Dixit's business manager Rakesh Nath, has the singular honour of being the only director in the world who directed M F Husain.

The film was Mohabbat in 1997 and it featured Akshaye Khann and Madhuri Dixit.

Recalls Reema, "It was a scene where Madhuri was to hold an exhibition of her paintings. I asked him to appear as M F Husain in the scene. Perhaps it was because Madhuri was involved Husain Saab readily agreed.

He not only made an appearance in the film he also arranged for the gallery and all put all his paintings up. Yes, all the paintings that you saw in Mohabbatein that were supposedly done by Madhuri were actually Husain Saab.

It was great fun directing him. He was full of vivacious suggestions. Happily this shot with Husain Saab was my mahurat shot. He was one generous soul. Warm-hearted and so full of life.

Another beautiful coincidence bound us together, and it was Hussain Saab who told me about it. When he came to know that I was the daughter of actor Sapru (legendary character-actor in his own right) Husain Saab told me that he used to paint film posters and the first poster he ever painted was that of my father and Nargis as Romeo & Juliet in the film of that title.

From that moment onwards Husain Saab and I were bonded by a beautiful feeling of kinship. We all will miss him. "
