00:07Call us today.
00:30Up to know him, you became close, etc. I am sure it was more than good looks, no?
00:35Yeah, naturally. We were liking for each other, working in so many films together.
00:38What are his qualities that you liked apart from good looks?
00:41He was a nice person, that's all.
00:43Okay.
00:43He was always there with me, and those days, so many films we were working together, a lot of outdoors, and most of the time he is there with me to support, help me out, many things, so naturally you start depending, you know?
00:59Yeah.
00:59He is a very straightforward, simple person, and which I think anybody will like.
01:05Yes.
01:06You know what Dharamji told me about you? He said,
01:10Hey ma, I get the fragrance of purity from her.
01:15Yeah.
01:16So straight off, I have to say.
01:18This is how he described you to me once, which I think was a very apt way of talking about you, a nice way of putting it, really.
01:27You know, people call you a feminist, and people keep saying that you are the symbol of feminism,
01:36because you have been independent, even after marriage, you have lived in your own house,
01:40you have brought up your children in your own house.
01:43In fact, they have learned, grown up learning Tamil, and you know, they know the Tamil culture also.
01:49So, and they do dance which Dharamji did not like at the beginning.
01:53So, they say that you are the ultimate symbol of feminism.
01:57Feminism.
01:58But is that how you really saw yourself when you came, did you ever think?
02:03Nobody wants to be like that.
02:06It happens.
02:07Automatically, naturally, what happens, you have to accept it.
02:12Circumstances made you who you are.
02:14Circumstances, yes.
02:15Otherwise, nobody will feel, you know, I want to live my life like this.
02:19No, every woman wants to have a husband, wife, the children, like a normal family.
02:26But it is somewhere, it went out of the way.
02:29That is where my Guruma always used to help me.
02:32So, I am in the track, I am, I am alright.
02:34I am not feeling bad or anything about it or sulking and feeling sad about it.
02:40I am, I am happy with myself.
02:42I have my two children and then brought up with them very well.
02:46And of course, he is there always.
02:48That is the best part of it.
02:50He is always there.
02:51Daruji was always there.
02:52Yeah, I saw him at both the children's wedding.
02:54Yes, everywhere.
02:55Actually, he has to do it.
02:56He has to get worried.
02:58That is right.
02:59He has to get married with children.
03:01That is right.
03:02He has to get married.
03:03He has to get married.
03:04The right person will come and it will happen.
03:06That is right.
03:07So, the blessings of God and Guruma, everything happened.
03:12So, Guruma helped you during that phase also?
03:15Yes, so much.
03:16When you know whether to go ahead with your marriage or go ahead, she helped you at that
03:21to make up your mind there also?
03:22Yes, yes.
03:23Okay.
03:24So, then that must have been a huge help for you.
03:26Yes.
03:27Isn't it?
03:28Sure.
03:29Because that must have been such a difficult choice to me.
03:30A very difficult decision to take.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Yeah.
03:33But you did it.
03:34And you pulled it off.
03:35Yeah.
03:36And I became busy with my work also, so much work I had.
03:40Yeah.
03:41You know, in one of your recent interviews, you said you have led an unconventional life.
03:49So, but that is again not by design, isn't it?
03:52No, not planned at all.
03:53Yeah.
03:54Unconventional and it just happened by circumstances?
03:55Yes.
03:56Circumstances.
03:57Then I accept it and go ahead.
03:59There is nothing.
04:00You have to feel bad about it.
04:01Exactly.
04:02Yeah.
04:03I am happy.
04:04Why should other people should think about it?
04:08You have worked with practically every hero, every heroine also, lots of heroines also.
04:15You have done double also with Parveen and with so many people you have done.
04:18Yeah.
04:19You have never had a problem working with any co-star.
04:21No, no.
04:22All were.
04:23Very nice.
04:24Everybody.
04:25Parveen and Parveen, I had a very sweet relation.
04:26We were very friendly.
04:27Zeena Daman.
04:28So, we travelled together to Russia for Alibaba, Charlie Stewart.
04:33And then we were very friendly with each other.
04:36Vekha Kisat, Amesha.
04:38Yes.
04:39And who are the other girls with me?
04:41But you have, I have most of the films.
04:43Most of the films I was alone, very few films were together.
04:46Raki, with Raki I have done few films.
04:47Raki you did, yes.
04:48Raki you did, yes.
04:49Yes.
04:50Of course, iconic.
04:51They were all very nice, nice girls.
04:52They were all very sweet.
04:54I used to feel very little hesitant in the beginning, whether they will talk or not,
04:59the same thing they used to feel.
05:00And then once we came together, then everything was fine.
05:04Reena Roy.
05:05Reena, that's right.
05:06Yeah.
05:07That's right.
05:08You did Trishul also.
