Why 'concerned' Sangeeta Bijlani called up Azharrudin late in the night

Sangeeta Bijlani is concerned about how she will be presented in the biopic of her former husband Mohammad Azharrudin. When he sold the rights to his life’s story, he made sure that he is protected by a contract. The parts of his life that he wants whitewashed, will be done. Sangeeta is worried that she might not come out looking as positive in the film.

Says a source, “Sangeeta hasn’t been in touch with Azhar in years... Since the time they divorced in 2010, they have kept out of each other’s way. She fears that the movie will not show her in a positive light. By now, it is known that Nargis Fakhri is playing her in the film, so whether she wants it or not, she is connected to the film. Even Sangeeta’s Oye Oye song is part of her portrayal in the film. So, she called Azhar and she voiced her apprehensions. And she expressed a desire to watch the film. Since then, they have kept regularly in touch. Azhar informed her that he too hasn’t watched the film and has asked the producers for a trial. But everything is being kept tightly under wraps till the release.”
