On Kapil Sharma's show, Imtiaz Ali went down memory lane and narrated an incident from the Jab We Met set. The filmmaker said he has shot for projects in Punjab several times and in the evening, people in Punjab get into a certain mood.
"During the Jab We Met shoot, one man started abusing and saying cuss words, and people were trying to throw him out, but I went and spoke to him. So he said that I was doing something very wrong in showing Dara Singhji’s family. He objected to the colour of the turban that was being shown," revealed Imtiaz.
The filmmaker recalled his film's costume designer saying that the local man was right. That's when Imtiaz put the local man in charge of the set till the time they shot for Jab We Met in Punjab. And eventually, the director also understood the different colours of the state.
