Worli main Doordarshan ka studio tha aur waha jaake maine perform kiya tha television par, jiske liye mujhe INR 250 mile the. Aur television se aap keh sakate hai ki mujhe woh recognition mila, apne aap ko parde par dekhna, mummy daddy aur dosto ne mujhe chote parde par dekha (And there's an anecdote I would like to share, my first earnings were in 1976. It was from Doordarshan. There was a Doordarshan studio in Worli, and I performed there on television, for which I was paid INR 250. And from television, you could say I got that recognition, seeing myself on screen, my parents and friends saw me on the small screen)”.
