He just plays it safe so that interviewer will not come up with any more questions on that front.😆
When you answer like that next question will be on different aspect.
Eg he said a while back his fav actress is Sonali Bendre(No offence to her).She has left this industry long time ago.If he would have answered from the current lot like Deepika kareena katrina then he would be asked which film etc etc.
He gives full stop on their questions by answering like that.
Strange guy he is...😆
He could have named Meena Kumari too..or Madhubala..they are DEAD!!
Look from his POV, His crush wuld have happened when he must have been in School...and that time Sonali was a popular one .. So normal that he likes her... He actually likes feminine types ...and the current crop are thorough professionals while Sonali radiated a softness, a female sensuousness ... If there are anybody like that today, he would have picked them too..
