I was a teenager at that time. For this song, I continuously took long puffs from the chillum. So, when our shoot was over, I was completely drunk. I was in no condition to go to the hotel, so some people from the team took me to a beautiful place. There I felt good and then slowly I regained consciousness.'

Mother had reprimanded the senior crew members

Zeenat further said, 'When my mother came to know about this later, she was very angry. She also scolded the senior crew members. However, I was lucky that I was saved from her anger. Well, what can I say, it was the 70s, and I was a flower child.'
