Remembering his 'Mahabharat' co-star Pankaj Dheer, Mukesh Khanna said that he jokingly called him "convent Pandav" as he never read the "real Mahabharat". "But his performance was so brilliant," he added. He also shared how Pankaj began his career as an assistant director on his first film 'Roohi', and earned just ₹300 per month.
