When asked about the scar on his face, Shatrughan shared, “Maine mama ko shave karte hue dekha tha unko jana tha America. Toh maine woh blade wala woh razor uthaya, aur uthake meri mama ki beti woh rone lagi. Humne kaha nahin nahin tehero tumko aata nahi shave karna, mein batata hu. Pehle uska gaal kata maine (I saw my uncle, he had to go America. So, I picked up that razor, and my uncle’s daughter started crying. I said no, no, you don’t know how to shave, I’ll show you)”

He added, “Uske baad humne kaha tumko nahin aata toh main batata hu. Aur mein apne se paani lagake, dekha mama ko, aur laga aur woh blade yaha kat gaya, lag gaya. Gharpe joh bhi detol hua ke joh bhi hua, gharpe lagake unhone theek kar dia (After that, I said if you don’t know then I’ll show. And I got water for myself, I looked at my uncle, and it got cut here. Whatever was there at home, we fixed it by applying it)”

Plastic surgeon se bhi baat kar li thi humne (I used to feel very embarrassed, I used to think I am entering Bollywood with a face that was not perfect. I worried how will I make it in films, what will I do? I was so worried that I had even spoken to a plastic surgeon)”
