In an interview, Khanna quoted "In ''Bawarchi'', I did exactly the opposite of what Hrishida had made me do in ''[[Anand (1971 film)|Anand]]'' (1971).

So I let myself go."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/bawarchi-1972/article5451711.ece|title=Bawarchi (1972)|first=SURESH|last=KOHLI}}</ref> | ||
