The senior actress also talked about a gesture by Alia which made her respect her more. She shared that the film Gangubai Kathiawadi was mostly shot at night. Seema ji mentioned that there was a young girl who was a junior artist on the film. She said that the girl was a part of a scene where she had to sleep and then say a dialogue.
Seema Pahwa stated that it was quite late at night and the girl was actually feeling sleepy so many retakes were being made. The actress revealed that she saw Alia telling the girl that she would tap her on the shoulder and then should say the dialogue.
Seema ji added that Alia helped the girl. She continued, “Mujhe laga kitni accha gesture usne dikhaya hai bina kisi ko bataye bina woh obvious kiye. Kyunki mai waha khadi thi aur maine note kiya (I felt what a nice gesture she showed without telling anyone and without making it obvious. Because I was there, I noted).”
She concluded by saying, “Yeh insaaniyat jo hoti hai sabse badi cheez hoti hai (This humanity is the greatest thing that exists).”
