Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha paid his respect to legendary ghazal queen Begum Akhtar here and said it was a gratifying experience. He took the team of his film "Article 15" to the cemetery where she lies buried.

"Begum Akhtar was my childhood crush. She was the reason I started my never-ending journey into the world of Urdu," Sinha said in a statement. "After so many years, I got the opportunity to pay my respect to both of them along with my entire cast of 'Article 15'. It was such a gratifying experience," he added.
