I am sure I've spoken to you more in this interview than I might have about my work with her. You know it's one of those, there is a decent understanding understanding of two people to maintain a certain equation because we love a certain man who is in between both of us, as simple as that.

The legend of Sridevi will live on through her various films and performances. May her soul rest in peace.
