/> Shabana was in Srinagar when her friend Poonam Dhillon who's a very close friend of Jagmohan Mundhra told her that the filmmaker was unwell.

Shell-shocked by Mundhra's demise Shabana says, "Poonam was trying frantically to arrange some doctors in Mumbai from Srinagar. Just three days ago while out with dinner with his wife Chandra, Jagmohan developed some gastro-intestinal complications. Can you believe it, he is gone!"

Shabana recalls Jagmohan with fondness. "On my my last birthday he had sent me coffee cups with images of my films imprinted on it. It shows how thoughtful he was. Jagmohan's thoughtfulness and hospitality were legendary in Bollywood.

At his house in Los Angeles any and everyone from Bollywood was welcome. He would've guests from Mumbai staying in his house for days and weeks. I'm sure this was inconvenient for his wife Chandra.

But she must've gotten used to her husband's generosity and hospitality. Anyone in Bollywood who needed any kind of Hollywood assistance—an editor, a technician or a stuntman—only had get in touch with Jagmohan. "

Shockingly Jagmohan's only daughter Smriti was not aware of the tragedy.

Says Shabana, "The girl was on a flight from LA to Mumbai which got diverted to Bangalore. So she was unaware of what had happened. Smriti was the apple of her father's eye. I had done two films with Jagmohan Suraag and Kamla. I've also Smriti's diploma film. "

Jagmohan was very proud of Kamla.

Recalls Shabana, "Though the film didn't do that well in India abroad it created a huge impact. Jagmohan had acquired the rights to the play by Vijay Tendulkar and had made the film with his heart.

I regard Kamla as a high-point in my career. He was keen to make a film called Bardaasht about a man who takes so much injustice in life, he can't take it anymore. That film shall remain unmade. "

The last time Shabana interacted with Jagmohan was when he saw Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

"He liked Farhan's work and wanted to congratulate him. I'd like to remember Jagmohan as an extremely generous man. Kind, hospitable and thoughtful. It's sad how suddenly he was snatched away from us. "
