Partnership facts

• Nassar was the one who recommended Trisha for her debut film 'Jodi' (1999). He had seen her in a music video and told director Ameer to cast her. That film launched her career.
• In 'Alai' (2003), Nassar played Trisha's father. Their scenes together had a natural, unforced tension because Trisha later said she was genuinely nervous acting opposite him — he was a veteran, and she was still finding her footing.
• Nassar and Trisha stayed in touch long after their films ended. He personally called her when she won her first Filmfare award in 2005, and she has said he remains one of the few co-stars she still consults for career advice.
• Trisha once said about Nassar: 'He is the reason I am in cinema. If not for him, I would have never gotten that first break. I owe my entire career to that one phone call he made.'
• Their pairing in 'Jodi' (1999) directly led to Trisha being cast in her breakthrough film 'Mounam Pesiyadhe' (2002). The director of that film saw her performance opposite Nassar and decided she had the range for a lead role.
