He writes, “Her beauty and sex appeal were so overpowering that it took many films and many, many years for both the audience and industry to recognize the actress in her, who was first showcased in the most effective way by Shekhar Kapur in Mr. India. Even though her acting prowess was evident right from her debut film, her superstardom gave prominence only to her sex symbol image, which was so strong it blinded everybody to her tremendous talent.”
He admired her so much that he would just stand before her house, looking at it and thinking why such an ethereal beauty lives in such a stupid looking house.
