SLB revealed that he complained to Panditji that he had nothing to do.

Bhansali said that Maharaj told him that artists don't feel like eating or drinking until they perform for someone. He then took Panditji to Madhuri’s house to perform and said, “Every artist wants their talent to be seen, appreciated or even criticised. Criticism is also a part of an artist's growth and life.”
