Shyam Veteran Filmmaker Benegal remembers collaborating with Surekha Sikri in three films and revealed that he was a thorough perfectionist in this first person’s account …
He is an extraordinary actress; I have worked with him in three films – ‘Sardari Begum’, ‘Zubeida’, and ‘Mammo’.
He was trained brilliantly in the NSD and was one of their star students when he came out; At that time Ebrahim Alkazi was the director.

He appeared in some very brilliant production of the NSD treasury.
I saw it in the game in Delhi and that’s what I thought I had to take it in the film here.
He has a great reputation as an actress in the theater.
As you know, he has given some brilliant performances in theaters too, but what happens in the cinema is that the people written are mostly people who play the role starring.
Surekha never gave a bad performance in his life.
All the shows are amazing!

Regardless of it, he is a thorough professional and it’s also the last cross, in the sense that when you bring it in the film and tell him what the part is and the line, he will be there to shoot not only on time but with true lines – perfect and costume and makeup in its place.
You don’t need to worry about him at all.
At that time you did not really understand and appreciate the quality of the actress that he and also discipline.
