Personal Quotes
Her opinions on item numbers: "I don't mind an item number like "Kajra Re" from Bunty Aur Babli, it's done well and the song seems like a whole lot of fun. But if I did a "Khallas," my career would also be Khallas with it!"
We were children together... now the child I knew, has a child. Such a long journey... in such a short time, now they embark on another journey. A journey of parenthood. I wish them all the best. Sussanne and Hrithik are beautiful people and now the most beautiful thing has happened to them.
