Minty crisp politician and actor Paresh Rawal has a great sense of humour. When he read the item saying he had deferred shooting because of his term in Parliament, he said laughingly, “Yaar, I have always made it known that acting continues to be my driving force. Even when I was campaigning for elections, I shot for films like Raja Natwarlal, Welcome Back and some others. However, if I haven't shot for one particular film, it's because the payment didn't come on time. Politics is not going to keep me away from acting; but if my payment doesn't come on time, I will not set foot outside my house. I'm putting it as candidly as I can."

Interestingly, one of Paresh's producers, Anil Bohra who is making Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi said, “I am waiting for the Mumbai rains to stop so that I can shoot for two days with Paresh and Rishi Kapoor.“
