Whilst accepting the award, Bhaskar reveals that the character in his novel is not fictitious but is actually based in a real person named Anand Saigal. Anand(Rajesh Khanna) who was suffering from an incurable cancer called lymphocircoma, first came to Dr. Prakash Kulkarni (Ramesh Deo), a close friend of Bhaskar. Prakash tells Bhaskar about his reluctance to take Anand as his patient, but after meeting anand, he was astonished that a dying man could have such a wonderful zest for life and happiness.
