Along with sharing the pic of Shiv ji, he also wrote, "The year 1992, I was doing a play with Jan Natya Manch and we came to Mumbai to perform at the Prithvi theatre Festival, the first person , my first celebrity I spotted atbPrithvi was Francis from "Parinda" which was Shiv Subramaniam , also the writer of the film.

The year 1994 .. I was working on my first independent script for a production house called Media Classic , the condition to which was that my script will be made only after the one that was in preproduction, written by Shiv Subramaniam and to be directed by Shivam Nair. They were having issues with the script and I was the desperate young writer waiting for my turn . There came the time when they were just about ready to give up on the film"Auto Narayan" which was under preproduction. I requested them to let me have a go at the script and not shelve it, so my film gets made afterwards. Very gracefully Shiv and Shivam allowed me to do so. "Auto Narayan" got made and my script never did . After seeing the film , Shiv Subramaniam asked Shivam to also put my name as the writer's credit on the film. That's how I got my first screen writing credit in this film industry. That "Auto Narayan" led me to RGV and "Satya" happened . I owe so much of what I am to Shiva Dada and we hadn't been in touch for long with me owing to my continuous bad health and state of mind. Waking up to hear the heartbreaking news of Dada passing away has just taken so much out of me. Rest in peace Shiv Subramaniam . The most generous , beautiful man I've known".
