Maine socha ki yaar Bollywood ki kisi heroine mein to itna saahas nahi ki baalo mein tel lagakar occasion mein aa jaaye, to bas is saadgi par dil aa gaya (Once I reached the occasion, I noticed a woman, who had no make-up, had oil in her hair, and was sporting spectacles. I although no heroine in Bollywood would have the braveness to come back to a celebration with oil in her hair, this simplicity caught my coronary heart).”
