“Unlike Today’s camp-ism in Bollywood Salman,Srk, Aamir Khan camps ….Prem worked in all the camps then!!” quotes Salim Khan Rikita Nanda preferred ending Prem Naam Hai mera with the best confession by Salim Khan.
Rikita Nanda pens down the father Prem Chopra’s biography….This is my 1st book which I decided to pen only when my husband Rahul Himanshu Nanda and we were celebrating the 100th year of Indian Cinema. He made me realize that your father has been in the industry given his life to it for almost 50 years. I think this is the right time you need to write his bollywood journey. At this point of time everyone with whom I discussed about writing it welcomed the idea.”
She continues,” I got the support from my
mother. My work became easier. She had kept all the clippings that appeared in the news papers. The reviews which helped me develop about all his films in chronological order i.e. year by year.”

None of the three daughters took to cinema,” Yes! We were more homely kind of girls. We had a more stable home. My mother was a strict disciplinarian she looked after our education well. Dad was also a family man. He would take us out on holidays. He also took us for swimming. Belonging to the industry still he was a much grounded person .He was liked by one and all in the industry and at home too everybody loved him. He is a caring father.”
While in school days children wanted autographs,” Yeah! That is the time we realized undeniably, he plays the villain but he is liked by all. I remember we three sisters would start crying when my father was being bashed in the films. Also when I grew up a little I would tell him why he could not take up a sweating and a honest profession like being a “Taxi Driver? As I did not like him always playing the baddie.He would
always miss-behave kith all the heroines and on the screen would really detest it until I was taken on the shoot one day and my mom told me that –it is just a drama and your dad has to play his character.
Prem had no affair,” I have not mentioned about any affairs, unquestionably, because he has had none. He loved his wife and his family a lot. He was baddie on the screen but a man with character in the real World.This makes all of us feel proud about him.

Memories as a child,” I remember my father was a very warm person. Also a friendly person. He was the one who could work with ant one. He worked with Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna , Rakesh Roshan Shammi Uncle and Shashi uncle. His friends were all male actors…Jeerendera, Rishi Kapoor, Sujit Kumar who is no more. But we are friendly with his family. We always enjoyed our festivals and other events with all his friends and their
families. Until today we are good pals.”
families. Until today we are good pals.”
She continues,”Salim Khan has spoken very well about my dad. His confessions are very true. I close the book with Salim’s confessions. The rest like jeetendera said,” Oh! You are his daughter and penning his biography I will have to be careful!!’
Salim Uncle told me,” Prem would just do his job and go away from the sets. He would never carry any tell from one set to another. He did not believe in any camp.camp. Salim uncle told me that your father was the most liked person even then merely because he is a honest man.
Unlike today, there is Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan Camps. Each group is unwilling to work with each other. He being an amiable person he would says,” Apna admi hai bula lo [He is our man… call him!] But Prem Chopra was the favorite of all -the then existing camps for his good nature and non interfering personality. Also majorly because he did not believe in carrying the gossips of one set to another. He worked with one and all with his own respectable terms without having any hang ups with his co stars. He was also never choosy though!” she concludes
