For this, Shatrughan Sinha replied, “train me. I was going to FTII (Film and Television Institute of India) from Patna. She (Poonam Sinha) had come to Patna to attend a wedding and was in school. Their family members used to call me the nurturer and snatcher. She was going to train me. And I was sitting in his train. My friends had come to fuck me, they were trying to tease me. I said, ‘Don’t do it. Mother, I will go alone. There will be a big beating on the way. [In the train, I was on my way from Patna to FTII. She had come to Patna to attend a wedding and was in school at that time. Her family used to call me a cradle-snatcher. She was on the same train, and I was sitting there. My friends had come to see me off, and they were teasing her. I told them, ‘Don’t do it. I will go alone. There will be a lot of trouble on the way.’”

The actor continued, “Train me main ro raha tha isliye ki pehli baar ghar ka sabse chutka bahua maa-baap ko chodke ja raha tha Patna se Mumbai. Kabhi zindagi me hostel me nahi raha. Main ro raha tha. Yeh (Poonam Sinha) saamne wali berth pe baithi hui thi jo filmo me kahani hoti hai. Aur yeh ro rahi thi kyuki inko daant padi thi. Saasu maa ne kuch bola hoga. To yeh ro rahi thi, mai ro raha tha. Dono ki rote-rote mulakat hui. [I was crying in the train because it was the first time I was leaving my parents and going from Patna to Mumbai. I had never stayed in a hostel before. I was crying. She was sitting on the opposite berth, just like in the films. She was crying too because she must have been scolded by her mother. So, she was crying, and I was crying. We both met while crying.]
