Actor Dalip Tahil, who portrayed Jawaharlal Nehru in Milkha Singh’s biographical film 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', recalled his conversation with Singh. "He told me, ‘I didn’t want to go to Pakistan (for international athletic competition)...but Nehru convinced me to go,'" Tahil said. "Nehru wanted a civilian with a stature to visit Pakistan at that time to amend the bridges," Tahil added.
