The veteran actress revealed that while she was shooting with Shashi Kapoor for their film, Fakira, and for a song, Dil Mein Tujhe Bithakar, she had to perform an intimate dance with him. However, she wasn't comfortable doing those moves, and she had tears in her eyes. Talking about the same, Shabana said:
"That was his way of showing affection. He was crazy. I will give you an example, we were shooting for Fakira and the song was Dil Mein Tujhe Bithakar. Now, I went on set before he arrived and Satyanarayan ji was doing the choreography and I saw that the moves were very intimate and I was very young at that time and I had tears in my eyes and I left the set and my heart was thudding because I really didn’t want to do those shots."

Recalling the chilling moment, Shabana said:
"So I went in and I told my hairdresser that I couldn’t do those shots and I started crying. Suddenly there was a heavy knocking on the door, comes Shashi Kapoor, he was like, ‘What’s wrong with you’, so I said, ‘I can’t do those scenes’, he said, ‘Why, when you became an actress and you said Mummy, mummy mai bhi actress banungi tab tumko khayal nahi aaya ki iss tarike ke cheezein tumko karna hai , stupid girl’, and he left."
